| MP3s - what they are and what you can do with them - Introduction to Java | |
|
Samuel Audet is currently an undergraduate at Ecole Polytechnique
de Montreal. He's been using OS/2 since Warp 3 and has not found any major reason
to stop using OS/2 since then. He has learned to program in OS/2 and made some programs
most notably PM123, CD2MP3 PM and Disk Indexer (the latter is programmed for Java).
In the last four years, he also learned many programming languages.

| The OS/2 Community - Where Do We Want to Go Today? | |
|
Dan Casey has been using, and testing, OS/2 in various versions
since OS/2 2.0. He is currently the President of VOICE (Virtual OS/2 International
Consumer Education) and in that capacity, he is committed to the concept of "Cooperative
User Support" for the OS/2 Operating System. As President of VOICE, his goal
is not to make VOICE into the only OS/2 Support site ... not even the best OS/2
Support Site. But rather to make it the focal point that leads to all of the information
about OS/2 that any user could possibly ask for. And for that goal to be realized
means that everyone invloved is going to have to cooperate with each other. Dan
is the Co-Owner of a local Home Improvement company (Family owned since 1947), and
the "computers are just a hobby" (or so he keeps telling himself). In
reality, he expends a lot more energy on OS/2 support than he does on things relating
to his livelihood.

A self-taught programmer, Viennese-born Henry Sobotka works as a
freelance translator from his home near Rigaud, a small town west of Montreal, Quebec.
Almost a decade before setting hands on a computer, he created one in the form of
a leading character in a science-fantasy series that ran for two years on the CBC
Radio network. Henry's pursuit of programming also stems from a longstanding interest
in human linguistics (he reads some 20 languages). He has been using computers daily
since the mid-1980s and OS/2 since version 2.1 in 1993. Henry became actively involved with Mozilla when work on the OS/2 port began in April 1998, and over the past year has helped the IBM team get oriented. In addition to his contribution to Warpzilla, he has improved the graphics facilities of the OS/2 port of Icon 9.3 (the programming language); is testing and debugging ports of Berkeley DB 3.0.55 and id-utils 3.2; and working on a Java edition of the Chinese classic the Yi Jing, as well as on a Chinese-English dictionary and reader based on the Unicode Han database. A coauthor of the JavaScript Annotated Archives (Osborne-McGraw Hill, 1998), Henry holds a B.A. in Honors English from the University of Montreal (Loyola College).
