WebObjects Developer Conference Coming Up!

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

The WebObjects fire started last year at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference continues to rage unabated. Get all the latest information and developer tips and tricks at the 2008 WOrld Wide Web Objects Developer Conference in San Francisco June 7th and 8th.

CodeFab’s Alex Cone and Bill Hatch will be speaking on Sunday, giving the low-down on the latest AJAX support in WebObjects 5.4. The session is (*gasp!*) at 9:00 am, so don’t party to hearty on Saturday night. The full schedule is here.

Apple’s WWDC is now sold out. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from the industry experts and the developers of the WebObjects tools. Online pre-registration is available only through BoxOffice Tickets (open until May 22th). You can also call BoxOffice Tickets at 1 800-494-8497.

In addition to Alex And Bill, look for fellow CodeFabbers Bill Sandner, Chuck Swiger and Justin Laird. There is an official WebObjects Tommy’s tequila run SUNDAY NIGHT! Mark your calendars!

Hmmm… Git looks interesting

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Having lived through pushing most of our code from CVS to Subversion, I’m not really planning on moving to a new version control system any time soon. None the less, a new system (OK - new to me) called Git looks interesting and I thought I would do a quick post and push out some links.

Best place to start is an excellent Google TechTalk by Randall Schwartz that can be found here. More information at Wikipedia here and at the official site.

I like the fact that you typically have the entire repository locally and that you can submit patches by email. Enjoy!
