1998 Meetings
Wednesday, November 18th, 1998
Speaker: Barb Brenner
Barb Brenner, instructor at Element K Learning Center, led PART 1 of an informal tour of the new features of Visual Basic 6.0, primarily Database Tools and ADO capability. The attendees had a great time drilling Barb with questions and requested a second session on the Web Tools!
Wednesday Oct 21st, 1998
Speaker: David Solomon and Jeff Reynolds
David Solomon and Jeff Reynolds of Rational Rose presented an overview of UML (Unified Modeling Language) and their product, Rational Rose that uses the model you design to generate your program code. What a brave new world of modelling huge programming projects! We soaked it in.
Wednesday Sept 16th, 1998
With no official speaker, the group took off on lively discussions about web site design, setting up easy and cheap home networks, what Microsoft is doing with MTS and COM, Microsoft Developer Days, web hosts who have FrontPage server extensions (www.zaks.com does), and cool monitoring software for webs. We also compiled an impressive list of potential speakers on the topics of UML (Unified Modelling Language), Rational Rose, N-Tier development, MTS + COM = COM+, Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 6, Fall VBITS Conference, Visual Interdev, and Agents.
Wednesday May 20 th, 1998
Speaker: Leon Zaks
We gained double the knowledge from a double presentation. First ????? briefed us on the details we should pay attention to in order to ensure our PCs will work as we enter the year 2000. Then Leon Zaks showed us the interesting database techniques and programming behind a website he created.
Wednesday April 15 th, 1998
Speaker: Robert Mowery
Robert Mowery revealed some of the wonders and removed some of the mystery of UML (Unified Modelling Language), Rational Rose, COM/DCOM, and most entertainingly, Actors - those animated personalities that can tutor you in Help files or teach you how to play computer games and other amazing people-like feats.
Wednesday, March 18th, 1998
Speaker: Amy Albert
Visual InterDev is the tool to use to build and manage database-driven Web applications. This integrated development system lets you build HTML-based applications that can be accessed from any Web browser. Benefits: Integrated HTML editor, data designer, SQL and ODBC based tools to use VBscript, JScript and other web tools.
Wednesday, February 18, 1998
Topic: Building Reusable Objects
Speaker: Robert H. Mowery III
The presentation will illustrate how to utilize COM/DCOM and any development tools that support COM/DCOM development to create reusable objects for Microsoft Windows. The two language tools that will be demonstrated are Visual Basic 5.0 and Visual J++. Two objects will be created with each tool and then it will be shown how easily a developer can use those objects to create a client Server application and/or a web based application. Additionally, it will be shown how simple it is to make the objects scalable using MTS and what extra code is required to make use of MTS. Benefits: It is critical to both small and large companies to begin thinking in terms of Object development rather then full scale applciation development. With COM/DCOM becoming the entire focus of the Microsoft Windows platform, it will be prove easier, more productive, and more cost effective to purchase COM/DCOM objects or even MTS packages (which contain objects) and assemble them into applications. The benefit of a COM/DCOM object is that it can be developed in a variety of lanaguages and the objects can be extended according to the developers needs.
