Free Runtime Revolution Scripting Conferences
30th April Marks Launch of Fifteen Free Online Conferences
Edinburgh, Scotland, 25th April 2005
Runtime Revolution (www.runrev.com)
announces the launch of fifteen free online conferences for Revolution
Dreamcard, Studio and Enterprise starting on Saturday 30th April 2005.
The conferences are free and open to all users of Runtime Revolution,
even if they have yet to purchase a licence. These exciting conferences
are perfect for new users and those seeking to learn new skills or
refresh their knowledge. They are also an ideal way for those exploring
Revolution for the first time to find out more prior to purchasing.
The scripting conferences have been organised and will be moderated by Jacqueline Landman Gay of HyperActive Software (www.hyperactivesw.com).
Jacqueline has nearly 20 years' of experience working with and
contributing to the Revolution, and previously, the HyperCard user
communities. Jacqueline's aim in creating the scripting conferences is
to provide an accessible and unique learning resource for the
Revolution community, in particular those new to the technology.
The conferences will be hosted by leading Revolution scripters
including industry gurus Jacqueline Landman Gay, Dan Shafer, Klaus
Major, Richard Gaskin, Jeanne De Voto and many others. Learners will be
joined by other users and staff from Runtime Revolution, with guest
appearances from company CEO Kevin Miller. Conferences cover a range of
topics from stack structure through to multimedia and debugging.
The conferences are held fortnightly on Saturday (16:30 BST, 17:30 CET,
11:30 EST). A sample stack accompanies each conference and contains
documentation, code samples and relevant information. The stacks will
be available for download one week before each conference and learners
are encouraged to download them prior to attending. Each conference
will consist of a moderated session to guide people through the key
learning objectives followed by an open session, during which all
learners are encouraged to contribute or ask questions.
The first conference will take place on Saturday 30th April and will be
hosted by Runtime Revolution’s CEO Kevin Miller. Focussing on stack
structure this tutorial is ideal for those seeking to harness the power
of Revolution’s programming metaphor. The free sample stack
accompanying the tutorial is available for download.

supporting stacks and how to take part is available from: http://support.runrev.com/scriptingconferences/
