:p.
Writing programs for DOS was a one-dimensional process - one string, one
concept, one process at a time. With OS/2 2.0 and beyond, the universe
expands: it becomes multidimensional, and the programmer is now challenged to
unshackle herself/himself from those onerous restrictions, to let his/her coding
more closely follow the imagination. This talk is intended to be "seminal",
to plant that seed that will become the mighty oak, the next generation of
software. From now on, programming will be as different from what it was as
a line is from the Mona Lisa.

Do you like the software development work you are doing, but you think that
the commercialization of it is beyond you? This talk will cover various plans
to allow the small independent developer to have access to resources equivalent
to those that large companies have. We will start with the pre-development
planning and the strategic programming talent alliances, and proceed all the
way to the capitalization step and beyond. If participants can submit
electronic files of the outline of their projects, or any other type of
business relationship they desire to enter into, these will be entered into
the database that will be the backbone of the Strategic Talent Alliances

:h2. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++.
:lines align=center.
:hp2. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++.:ehp2.
:elines.
:p.
Object-oriented programming is the most important advance in programming since
the development of structure programming languages. After an introduction to
classes and object, the basic building blocks of object-oriented programs, we
will examine the three distinguishing characteristics of object-oriented programming
languages: Polymorphism, Inheritance and Encapsulation. We will then look at
how these three characteristics of object-oriented programming languages impact
the code development process. This session is strongly recommended for everyone
attending this conference, as it lays a foundation for several following sessions.
:h2. Object-Oriented Programming on OS/2: The SOM Model.
:lines align=center.
:hp2. Object-Oriented Programming on OS/2: The SOM Model.:ehp2.
:elines.
:p.
SOM (System Object Model) advances the state of the art of building class
libraries in three important areas. First, SOM offers the promise of language
independent class libraries which can be fully used from various object-oriented
and procedural languages. Second, SOM allows libraries to be distributed which
are binary compatible across versions. Third, SOM provides a means of extending
standard procedural languages to include full object-oriented programming
capability. This session gives an introduction to the use of SOM, and compares
SOM libraries to those developed using standard object-oriented languages. This
session requires an understanding of object oriented programming; the introductory
session above will provide that understanding.
:h2. Advanced SOM Programming.
:lines align=center.
:hp2. Advanced SOM Programming.:ehp2.

:p.
This is an advanced course on programming with SOM. Depending on interest of
participants, the session will include material on tracing, runtime type checking,
initialization and deinitialization of objects, metaclasses, changing the class
of a SOM metaclass, implied metaclasses, and performance optimization.
Participants should have attended the introduction to SOM, or have SOM programming
experience. SPECIAL NOTE: This is the first time this talk has been presented
anywhere if you are an experienced SOM programmer, you will not want to miss
this session.

A hard-nosed look at where OS/2 has been and where it is going, with a focus on
the opportunity OS/2 provides for developers. Microsoft's "Windows Ueber Alles"

:h1. ColoradOS/2! in Colorado Springs
:p.
:h2. Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region.
:p.
Colorado Springs is the second largest city in Colorado, with a
metropolitan area population of approximately 400,000. At an elevation
of 6,035 feet above sea level, the air is mountain-fresh and crisp in
January. Situated at the base of world-famous Pikes Peak, Colorado
Springs is classified as an "alpine desert", with an average annual
precipitation of 15.73 inches and an average relative humidity of 45
percent, yet it receives an average annual snowfall of 42.5 inches.
:p.
As is typical in Colorado, this city is both young and vigorous. It was
founded in 1871, and the median age of its residents is 27. Enjoying
more than 300 days of sunshine annually, Coloradans love the outdoors
and enjoy an informal lifestyle that is centered on the beautiful
Colorado Rockies. Bicycling is a favorite year-round activity for many
people here, as are hiking, camping, fishing and climbing. Of course,
Colorado is world-famous for its winter skiing. While cross-country
skiing is sometimes possible within the city limits, really good cross-
country skiing is available within a 30-minute drive, while some of the
best ski areas in the world are about two hours away.
:p.
Just to the North of Colorado Springs is the U.S. Air Force Academy, set
against the foothills of the Front Range, on a beautiful campus that has
the "problem" of too many deer and antelope wandering through the area.
The Academy is open for touring, and has a frequently-photographed
chapel that is designed in a very modern style that symbolizes the
soaring of both the mountains and the cadets. The Academy's sky-diving
team often practices here, and throughout the year the cadets are
usually being trained to fly, both in gliders and in single-engine
airplanes.
:p.
Even closer is the Garden of the Gods, an incredible geographic oddity
of spectacular red sandstone rock formations in the shadow of Pikes
Peak. This park encompasses a rare combination of ecosystems, from
plains grasslands to pinon juniper woodlands and high mountain forests.
Some of the most challenging rock climbing in the nation is available
here, and it is a favorite area for people who enjoy winter rock
climbing. The rock is crumbly, steep and dangerous, and climbing it
requires both experience and suitable equipment, as well as registration
with the park rangers. The Garden of the Gods Trading Post inside the
park, which is designed to resemble the homes of the Pueblo Indians of
the Southwest, features authentic Indian arts, crafts and jewelry.
:p.
Within an hour's drive is the Florrisant Fossil Beds National Monument,
which contains petrified Sequoia stumps, flora and fauna from the
Oligocene epoch, and over 6,000 acres of hiking trails. In the winter,
this is often a good cross-country skiing area, depending on recent
snowfalls. Rangers are located there year-round to answer questions and
to suggest "don't miss" things to see.
:p.
Numerous other attractions are very near Colorado Springs, including the
legendary mining town of Cripple Creek (made famous in a song by The
Band, and now featuring numerous casinos as gambling was just legalized
there), Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City, the Manitou Cliff Dwellings
Museum, The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Will Rogers Shrine, Cave of the
Winds, Seven Falls, and many more.

The Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort provides a unique conference
environment that is particularly well suited to this high tech
conference. In a beautiful setting with spectacular views of the
Colorado Rockies, the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort skillfully
blends the rugged charm of Colorado with the tasteful elegance that is
echoed in its collection of Oriental art.
:p.
The resort's 230 guest rooms and suites are clustered in seven lodges,
and each room has its own balcony framing dramatic views of Cheyenne
Mountain. The main lodge features 30 specially designed meeting rooms
with multi-level lighting, individual environmental controls, and near-
perfect acoustics. Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort's "eight hour"
chairs were custom designed by International Conference Resorts, working
with the manufacturer to provide the most comfortable and functional
seating available; these chairs have now become the industry benchmark.
:p.
Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort reflects Colorado's natural
orientation to outdoor activities in its sporting amenities. The resort
has an immaculately groomed 18-hole championship golf course (where play
was possible last January, an unusual but not rare occurrence), 18
tennis courts (six indoor, two clay), three heated swimming pools (only
the indoor pool is open in Winter), squash and racquetball courts, and a
fully-equipped men's and women's fitness center.
:p.
The Mountain View dining room features a selection of delicious hot
entrees served in covered gueridons, a delightful salad bar, tempting
dessert table, omelette station and special order grill. The lunch
buffet will be complimentary for conference participants during the
five-day conference. Breakfast and dinner are also available in the
Mountain View dining room, and spouses and children are welcome for
those meals. Meals are also available via room service.
:p.
Remingtons restaurant, which is located at the Cheyenne Mountain
Conference Resort, was recently chosen one of the 50 best restaurants in
the United States. Impeccable tableside service, exquisitely prepared
continental cuisine, and an intimate setting with one of the most
extensive wine cellars in Colorado, combine to ensure an enjoyable
evening following an active day at :hp2.ColoradOS/2!:ehp2. This is a restaurant
where you will want to linger over dinner for two hours or more.
Although dining here is not inexpensive, it is surprisingly affordable,
particularly so given Remingtons' nationally recognized excellence.

:p.
:h3. Hotel and Travel Information.
:p.
Rooms have been reserved at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort at a
special rate for all attendees of the :hp2.ColoradOS/2!:ehp2. conference. When you
call to register for the conference, you can also make your room
reservations. The special conference room rate is $60 plus tax, for
either a single or a double, and there is no additional charge for
spouses or children.
:p.
The number of rooms available at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort
is less than half the number of people expected to attend this
conference, so you should register for the conference and reserve your
room as early as possible. People who register after all of the
resort's rooms are committed will be booked into a nearby hotel, with
free shuttle service to the resort, and with access to all of the same
amenities as if they were staying at the resort. This will all be
managed automatically for you by the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort
staff, if you make your reservations at the time you register for the
conference.
:p.
You may instead choose to manage your own hotel reservations, or stay
with friends while attending the conference, although in that case you
would not be entitled to any of the Cheyenne Mountain Conference
Resort's amenities beyond those related to the conference itself. Some
of the better hotels in Colorado Springs are the Broadmoor, the Antlers
Doubletree Hotel, the Colorado Springs Sheraton, the Colorado Springs
Hilton Inn, the Colorado Springs Marriott, the Embassy Suites Hotel, the
Red Lion Hotel, two Radisson Inns, and several others.
:p.
Colorado Springs' central U.S. location makes it an easy destination to
reach from anywhere in the country. The Colorado Springs Airport is a
modern, convenient facility that has hosted all kinds of aircraft, from
the Space Shuttle to the British Airways Concorde. Offering a full
range of airport services and plentiful ground transportation resources,
the Airport is located just 15 minutes from the Cheyenne Mountain
Conference Resort.
:p.
The Colorado Springs Airport serves nine airlines, with over 150 flights
daily, offering direct and nonstop service to most major U.S. cities,
and easy connections to virtually any destination in the world. Among
those nine airlines are American, United, Delta, TWA, America West and
Continental.
:p.
Some travellers to Colorado Springs still prefer to land in Denver, then
rent a car and drive to Colorado Springs. The trip is entirely on
Interstate highways, and it takes just a little more than an hour to
cover the 60-mile (97-kilometer) distance. In addition, it is a very
pretty drive, with the Front Range to the West, the Plains and foothills
to the East, and Pikes Peak in view throughout most of the drive. Be
aware, though, that Monument Pass, near Colorado Springs, is famous for
its traffic-halting winter storms. You should check the weather before
you decide to make this drive, although it is unlikely that weather will
be a problem.
:p.
