Dave Aring of
Visionpace has created a very cool session scheduling
application called Kokopelli (the name of the figure with the flute
in our logo). It automates the selection of the sessions you want to
see and even creates a handy printed schedule that fits in your
conference badge.
Download the ZIP file and extract it in its own directory, then
run Kokopelli.EXE; it requires that VFP 8 or 9 be installed on the
system. Although it's very intuitive, it also includes instructions
on how to use it.
|
| September 8, 2008 |
One of the bonus sessions this year is "Show Us Your Apps", an
opportunity to show the crowd what cool things you've done in VFP.
Because there's a limited amount of time available, presenters are
limited to 10-15 minutes each. Please email
info@swfox.net to let us know
what you'd like to show.

session schedule is now available. One
thing you might note is that we've planned a dinner party for Friday

Gold sponsor
xSQL Software is giving away a free license of
xSQL Data Compare Pro (a $399 value -- allows you to compare and
synchronize data in two SQL Server databases) to every
conference participant. What a great offset of the
conference price – you pay $695 for the conference and get back more
than half of it ($399) with this offer alone! Even better, you'll
receive your free license as soon as you register for Southwest Fox
2008 so you don't even have to wait until October!
