Applied XML Developers Conference 2003 West

Saturday, May 17, 2003

Chris just announced the topics for the next XMLDevCon, to be held July 10-11, just outside of Portland, OR. Chris had a really hard time reducing the list of topics to fit in the 2 day schedule. I’ll be presenting a session:

Declarative UI using Scalable Vector Graphics
Have you ever wanted to create your own UI widgets, but didn't know the low level APIs for your platform's graphics engine? Or, what if you wanted to create your widget but needed to be cross platform, or even rendered in a browser. Well Scalable Vector Graphics can be your salvation. This session will show you how to create your own graphic mark up languages, and render them as SVG, thus eliminating the need to learn the low level graphics APIs. The examples will include interactive bar graphs, gauges, and a label generating web service that uses the SharpVectorGraphics SVG to GDI+ rendering engine.

I’m looking forward to getting together with everyone, and having a blast twisting my mind with all the tech talk. I know that there were some really cool sessions that Chris didn’t have room for. Hopefully everyone will show up anyway, and we can discuss them at the bar.
