RevCon Monterrey
3rd Annual Revolution Convention Returns to Monterrey
March 15, 2006. Monterrey, CA. RevCentral and Runtime Revolution Ltd,
announced plans for the largest gathering of Revolution users and
developers to be held in Monterey, California from June 17-18. This
marks the third consecutive year that RevCentral has hosted this event.
Runtime Revolution, Ltd is co-sponsoring the event.
In 2005, Revolutionaries converged on Monterey and enjoyed a two-day
gathering that drew nearly unanimous rave reviews. This year's
conference is expected to double the size of the 2005 event and will
include two brand-new features.
RevCon West 2006 will be held June 16-17 at the Monterey Conference
Center. Confirmed speakers include Trevor DeVore, Richard Gaskin, Ken
Ray, Scott Rossi, Jan Schenkel, Dan Shafer, and Chipp Walters. CEO
Kevin Miller and CTO Mark Waddingham of Runtime Revolution will also
attend. The speaker schedule will be updated over the coming weeks.
"RevCon West 2005 was a delightful and educational experience for
anyone interested in developing rich media projects, network solutions
and cross-platform applications for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X," said
Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution, Ltd, "we are looking forward
to being a part of RevCon West 2006 in sunny Monterrey."
Every attendee will also receive a free license of Revolution Media, a
feature rich tool for creating interactive media and software
utilities. Right out of the box it includes templates for creating
kiosks, presentations, adventure games, portfolios and more.
A new optional third day event will also be held at the Monterey
Conference Center. That post-conference gathering will feature in-depth
technical discussions of major topics of interest to Revolution
developers, a "coding kitchen" in which attendees will be able to work
on their projects with ready access to several top Revolutionary
developers. An advanced technology brief is also planned.
Also new this year will be a pre-conference tutorial workshop designed
for newcomers to Revolution and Revolution Media. The tutorial will be
held on Wednesday and Thursday, June 14-15, also at the Monterey
Conference Center, The first day will focus on how to design and build
Revolution applications and the second day will be devoted to learning
the Revolution scripting language.
