iVO, iVulcan, iNet - stealing a glance into Apple's world
Since Apple assembles Intel CPU's there are several ways to run Windows software on Mac computers. People love Apple products like iTunes, iPod, iPhone - and lots of MacBook Pro notebooks are sold to people who only want to work on sexy looking machines. More and more business people join the former target group of graphic artists and designers, so there will be a need for business software running on Mac in the future. Why not write it in VO or Vulcan? Using software like Parallels Desktop allows you to run Windows and Mac OS X at the same time, side-by-side. Capture a new and growing market, and acquire new customers by selling your Windows software to Mac users. Of course using Vulcan and .NET means a new language, a new class library, new tools - so nobody wants to learn another new operating system voluntarily.

This session will show you all you need to install, run and use Windows software on Mac computers and introduce you to the differences between the two worlds. So lay back and take a look into the parallel universe that is really worth joining. Windows has users, Mac has fans - maybe you will also become one after this session...

Level: Beginner.

Requirements: None.

 

Vulcan on eBay - practicing Web Services from scratch
Do you still hesitate to start learning Vulcan? Are you still reluctant to transport your long lasting Visual Objects application, that has grown up for years, to .NET? This session present a way to jump in at the deep end, use Vulcan, learn about Web Services, SOAP and XML files and get a little application that makes a lot of fun enlarging it in any direction.

Based on the eBay API SDK, it's an all-in-one device, suitable for every purpose on eBay. Create your own search engine, learn to automate things - but don't forget, an Automatic Bidding Scheduler is not allowed! :-)

The whole registration process will be shown clearly step-by-step - including a kind of "Hello World" program with minimal setup and maximum wow effect. After this session you will become a real eBay developer - and a Vulcan Power User as a matter of course...

Level: Intermediate.

Requirements: None.
