Last Update: 19-Oct-2011

Are you a Web Connection Developer looking for an opportunity to expand your skill set and hobnob with other Web Connection experts? Then look no further than this year's Web Connection User Conference in Tempe Arizona at the SanTan Elegante Conference & Reception Center and Legado Hotel, just prior to the Southwest Fox conference there.

Last year's event was a huge success, with attendees raving about what they took away from the training, eager to apply the experience to their own applications. The training is presented by Rick Strahl, creator of the Web Connection Framework, so you can from the horse's mouth how to utilize the new powerful and visual features of the new Web Control Framework. We want you to walk away ready to build sophisticated Web Applications with Visual FoxPro faster than ever before. As usual these training workshops involve audience interaction so you as an attendee help shape the format of the event. No two Web Connection events are ever the same!

So join us and take your Web Connection skills to the next level.


Conference Summary

West Wind Technologies presents a 2 day conference on West Wind Web Connection prior to the Southwest Fox conference in Mesa, Arizona this year on the dates of Oct 25th & 26th. The workshop is presented by Rick Strahl in presentation style format. We'll walk you through the process creating a small application from scratch and explore features of the framework along with an overview of how the technology works behind the scenes. Gain a better understanding of the Web Connection architecture while seeing technology used with best practices for the framework and  Web development in general.

This workshop will give existing developers new insight into Web Connection and provide many new and varied ideas and perspectives on how to utilize this powerful product. Since this event focuses on the new features in Web Connection 5.0 even previous training attendees will have plenty of new stuff to look forward to.

There will be ample opportunity to network and talk directly with Rick Strahl and other MVPs in attendence, as well as fellow developers that hang out regularily on the West Wind Message board. Put a face with the names you see online all the time.

And don't forget to bring your questions. Although the training format is presentation style there's plenty of time for questions and working in special requests into the flow of the presentation. The small group atmosphere makes it a natural place for asking questions and interacting with the speaker and open forum discussions with attendees. Learning by association and close interaction sets this conference apart from many others. No two Web Connection events are ever the same!
