Developers SIG September Meeting: PM Programming for the Power Programmer
Uri J. Stern, Stern & Morrow Software Consulting, Inc.
OS/2 Bay Area User Group
Developers SIG Meeting
September 11th, 1996, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
About the Talk
Mr. Stern will talk about some of the architecture and design of the
Presentation Manager itself. For instance, the important structures internal
to the window manager and graphics engine, and how to use the kernel debugger
to identify and debug memory leaks and hangs. He will walk through a couple of
different debug scenarios identifying problems. At a higher level, he will
also go through some of the most often asked PM programming questions by
providing solutions.
About the Speaker
Mr. Stern was the team lead of the IBM PSP SWAT team, a technical organization
composed of OS/2 developers that travel around the world to debug and resolve
OS/2 related issues. While at IBM, he worked on several components of the
operating system, and has been designing and developing applications for OS/2,
since the initial release of the Presentation Manager in version 1.1 in 1988.
In January of this 1996, he left the IBM Corporation to start his own software
consulting business with the co-author of his book, James Stan Morrow. Their
corporation, Stern & Morrow Software Consulting, Inc., "specializes in
providing the finest OS/2 application development and consulting resources
available in the industry."
OS/2 Warp Presentation Manager for Power Programmers
This book, by Wiley Computer Publishing, is the only advanced OS/2 PM book
that covers OS/2 Warp. The book covers the advanced subject matter that is
rarely covered in an advanced PM programming book or reference, such as:
The new PM messages added in OS/2 Warp and the additional changes made
internal to the Presentation Manager
Programming the Workplace Shell
Dynamic Data Exchange between a Windows App and a PM App
The Multimedia Controls and Secondary Windows
Printing from the Presentation Manager
Bitmaps and Graphics
Hooks, including those that are rarely documented like the Flush Buffer
Hook, Lockup Hook and Input Hook.
The Developers SIG, run by Dave Briccetti, focuses on topics of interest to
OS/2 programmers, with educational presentations, product demonstrations, and
strategy briefings. It also provides a forum for OS/2 developers to network
and socialize.
A typical meeting includes a speaker, a Programming Tip of the Month, and a
question and answer period.
Recent meetings have covered PM programming and testing, Workplace Shell
programming, object oriented technology and the System Object Model, and
VisualAge C++.
The SIG normally meets the second Wednesday of each month at:
IBM Solution Partnership Center
2929 Campus Drive, Suite 275
San Mateo, CA 94403
Meeting time is 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Meetings are free and are open
to the public.
