There is currently no ADHOC Conference planned for 2006. For more on last year's ADHOC Conference see: Forgiveness please? We received some sponsorship from Joy of Tech close to the show date and never really did a proper job of recognizing their support on the website. We've fix that now. We're sorry. Jordan Hubbard and Andy Ihnatko are the featured speakers for ADHOC 2005. The hardest working man in the industry, Andy Ihnatko, will also be hosting the Showcase Awards this year with Scott Knaster! There's also an all new theme. We think you'll give it "thumbs up".Notice

Pre-Conference AppleScript/Automator Training with Matt Neuburg
ADHOC is providing two half-day sessions on Applescript and Automator on Wednesday, July 27th. For $100 for one session, or $150 for both, you can learn how to write scripts, make applications, and create Automator Actions using Applescript.
The first session will cover basic Applescript for people who are unfamiliar with the language and who want more details on Applescript itself. The second session covers Applescript Studio and Automator, and teaches you how to make an application or Automator Action with Applescript.
Matt Neuburg is the author of O'Reilly's Applescript: The Definitive Guide.

Google is coming to ADHOC! The lineup at ADHOC just keeps getting better and better!
Applications that take advantage of Google can be both eyepopping and fast. Writing an ADHOC showcase entry based on Google technology can be easy. And best of all, Google is now a sponsor of ADHOC!
We've just added two sessions presented by Google engineers to our schedule, one that tells developers how to make use of Google technology, and the other session talks about what it's like to work for one of the most respected, most world famous, most challenging companies in the world. Polish your resume if you're up for it, but come listen to stories of working at Google.

Worried about the switch to Intel? Don't Panic!
Poised as we are about a month after WWDC, ADHOC is a great conference to go to to learn all about the latest programming information. In this case, of course, we can help you move your application to Intel. There will be several sessions on the switch, including overviews and details of migrating your application to the Universal Binary format, plus Birds of a Feather sessions from business and programming perspectives, and general cross-platform information as well.

Free software and hardware, or solid education? Why not both?
Don't let a free copy of REALbasic Pro or even a free USB experimenting board distract you from the huge amount that you can learn at ADHOC. Both the tools and the knowledge are necessary to excel in this fast paced world we live in. After all, turning your ideas into shipping applications used to be a lot of work, but not anymore. On the Macintosh, you have more flexibility than ever before. In addition to making your application work, jobs are demanding rapid prototyping of new features, cross compiling your application to Microsoft Windows, and continually staying ahead of the competition. The list goes on and on.
