Demonstration of all Suns products. o Advanced open network computing solutions at work. o Showcases how Solaris enables integration of multivendor environment. o Special viewing time for Solaris Developer Conference attendees. BUILDING A CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATION? WE CAN HELP YOU BUILD IT RIGHT. It takes more than a good idea to make hardware and software work. Even when you start out with a great product, as time passes and user requirements change, you need to add features, make some repairs, and update your design to include new technologies. Thats why SunSoft invites you to attend the 1994 Solaris Developer Conference, April 5-7 in San Francisco, California. Your conference. Your chance to see the blueprint and get the tools you need to re-architect your client-server applications with powerful Solaris technologies. Whether you want to renovate an existing Solaris application, or youre building from the ground up, youll find what you need during the three days of technical sessions and hands-on workshops. The conference begins with the latest infor- mation on the current and future releases of Solaris, the leading 32-bit UNIX environment that offers you a solid foundation for client-server development. Youll learn how to integrate Solaris technologies into your solutions, and youll see how to plan for the next-generation of client-server computing. More than 40 technical sessions show you the components of Solaris in detail, from the operating system to the desktop technologies. Youll learn how objects simplify application assembly and which APIs to use for system management applications. Classes cover multithreaded programming, integrating applications with ToolTalk, writing device drivers, migrating to Solaris 2, and more. General sessions by Solaris engineering architects will cover the latest hot technology topics, like the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and programming with object technology including OpenStep. With this knowledge in your tool belt, you can build the applications your customers are asking for. ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES FOR HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. Based on the overwhelming popularity of the technical workshops at last years conference, this year weve doubled the number of hands-on opportunities. These small, interactive tutorials run several times throughout the conference. Demonstrations show you how to use multimedia APIs, develop device drivers, integrate multithreaded applications with the OpenWindows and DeskSet environ- ments, and understand, all layers of CDE, including Motif. A special workshop pre-registration procedure will help reserve your place. Due to limited space, we recommend you sign up before March 15 for these very popular sessions. Standing by to assist you are representatives from several SunSoft engineering groups. Visit the Solaris Porting Lab to speak with a SunSoft expert about your development project. Arrange for special consultation with the Human Factors group to discuss your user interface design. Dont forget to join fellow developers and SunSoft engineers at the open forum Developers Panel to discuss anything and everything about the Solaris environment. These experts can answer your questions and help you choose the right technologies for your client-server solutions. THERE ARE TOOLS. AND THEN THERE ARE POWER TOOLS. There are other operating systems that promise to provide a stable architecture for enterprise computing, but none has the proven functionality of Solaris, a solid foundation based on over a decade of real-world use. High performance, easy-to-use distributed computing for SPARC and x86 platforms, plus technologies like ToolTalk integration, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), and multithreading (MT) you cant get this combination anywhere else. To get a complete set of Solaris power tools and a blueprint for your client- server applications, attend the 1994 Solaris Developer Conference. Each attendee will receive the Solaris Developer Pak, containing Early Access of the newest release of Solaris; developer kits for Motif, OpenWindows, graphics, imaging, teleservices, and device drivers; extensive on-line documentation; and ninety days of code-level technical support. ARRIVE EARLY..... STAY LATE. If youre new to the Solaris architecture, or you want even more experience with Solaris tools, take advantage of the opportunity to attend pre- and post- conference developer courses offered by SunSoft Education Services. These 2-day and 3-day classes are excellent introductions to Solaris concepts and key technologies. Designed specifically for developers, the courses are offered at discounted rates for the week of the conference only. Space in these courses is limited, so register early to reserve your place.
