Agenda
(subject to change)
The APLNext 2006 Conference will take place November 6th, Monday to November 9th Thursday.
Both Monday and Tuesday of the conference will focus on the APLNext language, the NEW APLNext web application servers and the integration with Visual Studio 2005.
Whether it is creating an APL application that is CLS compliant, works with all other .Net languages, integrates in Visual Studio, works with the VS designers, including the Forms and Web designers, or the No Touch deployment. You will learn how to leverage all of these technologies to take your APL application to the next level!
