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!
MARK/SPACE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO HOST HANDHELD DEVELOPER SESSIONS AT ADHOC
Mark/Space, Inc. today announced upcoming developer sessions at the Advanced Developer Hands On Conference (ADHOC), also known as MacHack, later this month. Led by senior software engineers, these sessions will give Mac developers all the information and assistance they need to create conduits and plugins that allow their applications to communicate with Palm OS and Windows Mobile handhelds and smartphones.
"We've come to a critical point in the development of handheld applications that integrate with Mac OS X," stated Brian Hall, Mark/Space president and CEO. "Now that Apple has articulated their future hardware plans, individuals and companies that build handheld applications need to know what is new, what has changed and how to go about planning their strategy for the Mac/Intel platform. Our engineers are going to be covering all of this and more at ADHOC later this month."
The ADHOC conference takes place July 27-31 at the Holiday Inn Fairlane, in Dearborn, Michigan. Mark/Space engineers will present the following sessions.
Writing Palm Conduits
This session will cover the details of writing Palm OS conduits for Mac OS X. Topics will include HotSync Manager vs. The Missing Sync, Carbon vs. Cocoa, Xcode vs. CodeWarrior and PowerPC vs. Intel. Mark/Space will announce and describe an innovative method of writing universal plugins that will function properly today under HotSync Manager on PowerPCs, and under The Missing Sync for Palm OS on Intel-based Macs in the future. One attendee will be chosen at random to receive a new Palm OS device. Session speaker: Eric Shapiro.
Writing Windows Mobile Plugins
Never before has it been possible for Mac developers to write a plugin that allows communication between Mac OS X software and Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone devices. The forthcoming Missing Sync for Windows Mobile will provide this very capability. This session will describe how to write Missing Sync plugins that synchronize application data with a Windows Mobile device. Details will include cross-platform code sharing, Xcode build steps, and Intel-based Mac support. One attendee will be chosen at random to receive a new Pocket PC. Session speakers: Dave Koziol and Eric Shapiro.
Missing Sync Kitchen
Programmers interested in writing Palm OS conduits or Windows Mobile plugins for Mac OS X can attend this session to get hands-on instruction from Mark/Space senior engineers Dave Koziol and Eric Shapiro. Developers attending this session are encouraged to bring their laptop to receive help writing and debugging their code.
