WOWODC 2008
Official ticket office opening
The WebObjects Community Association, BoxOffice Tickets and OS communications informatiques have announced plans for their WOWODC 2008, the annual conference dedicated to Apple's WebObjects Web development framework. WebObjects is a powerful, elegant, and proven web application framework that doesn't trade agility for scalability, or elegance for capability. Think of WebObjects as Cocoa and CoreData for the web.
This two day event will be held on June 7th and 8th, right before WWDC, at the beautiful Parc 55 Hotel in San Franscico. Lunch and breaks (snacks, coffee, etc) will be served each day. The sessions will be recorded and provided to attendees. Non-attendees may purchase the recordings. Join them for two days of learning and discussion hosted by the WebObjects community's leading experts.
Feature highlights include:
* Developer tools -
Developers learn how to get the most out of WOLips and how to profile and debug their apps.
* Third-party frameworks -
Using WebObjects is great, but with third-party frameworks, it's even better.
* Best Practices -

* Non-HTML apps and WebObjects -
WebObjects is not only for HTML. Learn how to build iPhone-ready Web apps, talk to Cocoa by JSON-RPC, and use Adobe Flex.
