Mozilla presents many great opportunities for developers, and work on Warpzilla, the OS/2 port, has been
going on for almost two and half years now. This presentation will discuss how developers
can build, hack and debug Warpzilla; IBM's contribution to the project; the various
modules (from the Netscape Portable Runtime library to the XUL frontend) and other
goodies in the source tree; and how these components can be used in application
or website development.

Getting Expected Results from Java

It's easy to write Java code, it's harder to make sure it does what you want in
every situation. It isn't enough to write the code, it has to work, behave predictably,
and be reliable. If you think that's easy come take the Java Testing Challenge (JTC)!
This session covers an introduction to designing, writing and testing Java so that
it works -- and of course, the JTC!

On August 22nd Sybase officially announced that it will be releasign the Watcom
C/C++ and Fortran compilers under an Open Source license. SciTech Software has been
selected as the official maintainer of this project, and Kendall Bennett is the
project leader. Hence this presentation will be a discussion about current and future
development of the Open Watcom compilers, and more specifically how this will affect
the OS/2 community from device driver developers to application developers. Included
in the presentation will be details about the project schedule, who is involved
and tentative release dates. We will also be talking about how developers can get
involved in this project, and what obstacles need to be solved for the OS/2 version
of the compiler. Lastly some preview details of a new project for easing the process
of porting apps to OS/2 will be included.

Introduction to Java

Many people know one or a few simple programming languages like REXX, Basic or Pascal/Delphi,
primarly because other languages like C/C++ are much too complex and error prone.
However, such simple programming languages are deceiving as they come with major
restrictions. Java, while being as powerful as any complex programming languages,
is still a simple one. I will here present an introduction to Java for people who
already have some programming knowledge, and you will then be able to start making
your own programs in Java.

This session will cover using the OS/2 trace facility. We'll look at both pre-defined
and ad-hoc tracepoints and how these can be used to debug real-world problems, such
as memory leaks, etc. We'll tie this in with using OS/2 System and Process Dumps
and the OS/2 Dump Formatter.
