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
Don't Panic!
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.
Matt Neuburg started programming computers in 1968, when he was 14 years old, as a member of a literally underground high school club, which met once a week to do timesharing on a bank of PDP-10s by way of primitive teletype machines. He also occasionally used Princeton University's IBM-360/67, but gave it up in frustration when one day he dropped his punch cards. He majored in Greek at Swarthmore College, and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1981, writing his doctoral dissertation (about Aeschylus) on a mainframe. He proceeded to teach Classical languages, literature, and culture at many well-known institutions of higher learning, most of which now disavow knowledge of his existence, and to publish numerous scholarly articles unlikely to interest anyone. Meanwhile he obtained an Apple IIc and became hopelessly hooked on computers again, migrating to a Macintosh in 1990. He wrote some educational and utility freeware, became an early regular contributor to the online journal TidBITS, and in 1995 left academe to edit MacTech Magazine. He is also the author of Frontier: The Definitive Guide and REALbasic: The Definitive Guide. In August 1996 he became a freelancer, which means he has been looking for work ever since.
