Around the World in 18 Days!
May 23 to June 9 2007

After a fantastic tour in 2006, we are now preparing for the CapeSoft World Tour 2007.

It's Bigger (5 CapeSofties will be there), Longer (5 days instead of 2) and Better (Hands-On, not just Lectures). Same low price!

5 days. 3 class rooms. 18 topics. 50 hours. This is the most intensive Clarion event. Ever.

What they said about the training in 2006...

I highly recommend attending the next class when it is offered. Your productivity will go up extensively - Benjamin Krajmalnik, Atlanta

It was a great experience and worth every dime - Frank & Liz Krause, Newark

You obviously put a lot of effort into planning the world tour, and it showed. Bravo to you and everyone else involved in putting the tour together - Bob Zimmerlich, LA

Seldom I experienced the combination of your high level of programming
skills and the power of presentation and entertainment - Oscar Jansen, Utrecht

The Goal

In a nutshell the goal of the 2007 World Tour is to make the event the most productive week of your whole year.

We encourage, nay insist, that you bring a laptop or PC along, loaded with your own projects. During the week we will work with you, on your applications to implement functionality, find bugs, and get stuff done.

In 2006 we ran short (2 day) courses, which consisted mostly of lectures, we visited multiple cities in each region, and all attendees were together in the same room.

In 2007 we're visiting a single city in each region, but the course will be longer (5 days) allowing for more in-depth treatment of the subjects. We will be breaking into three groups so that you can focus on the sessions that most interest you.

We want you to bring your laptop, or computer, pre-loaded with your applications. During a session lectures will be short, and then time will be spent allowing you to apply that knowledge to your own application. During this time we'll be on-hand to help you. After a while another lecture, then more workshop time, and so on.

You're free to join, or leave any session at any time. So when you're done implementing one thing, move on to another session and apply that knowledge as well. You may want to spend all 5 days doing one task (building a web server for example) or spend 10 half-days getting 10 things done. There will be a mix of "long sessions" (Web Server, Replicate, Hot-Dates, SQL, etc) and "short sessions" (lots of the smaller accessories), and we will be repeating some sessions where possible.

At the beginning and end of the day we'll have open Q & A sessions where we can help you one-on-one with your specific problems. These can be related to CapeSoft Accessories, or just plain Clarion questions.

We'll be using Clarion 7, but we're well versed in Clarion 6, and even Clarion 5.5, so whatever you are working in is fine by us. Hopefully we'll be able to pass on some Clarion 7 tips at the same time.

As part of implementing the accessories, we will also be running sessions on "converting". From TPS to SQL, from Legacy to ABC, from C5.5 (or C6) to C7, from single-app to Multi-DLL. If you are needing to do one of these conversions then this is a great opportunity to do it, and have expert assistance on-hand if you need it. Most conversions are a lot easier than you think, but it's also much easier when your questions can be answered immediately.

We want this to be The Most Productive Week of your whole year!

Cambridge, England, Europe:

Our venue in Cambridge is Homerton College. Close to the train station, a short ride from Stanstead Airport, this venue is easy (and cheap) to get to from just about anywhere in Europe.

Who will be doing the training?

CapeSofties
	Bruce Johnson: Bruce has been using Clarion since 1992, and he has presented Clarion training courses in Australia, South America, North America and Europe since 1998. He is the author of "Programming in Clarion's ABC". Bruce has attended more Clarion conferences, and trained more Clarion users than almost anyone else in the world. Geoff Thomson: Geoff heads up the whole Accessories program at CapeSoft, and knows more about them than any other person. His expertise with various products has seen him travel as far as Norway to help with Clarion implementations. Jono Woodhouse: Jono was part of the team that created the world's first commercial Java application (exhibited at the JavaOne Expo in California in 1996). At CapeSoft he has built several accessories, including NetTalk, Self-Service, xFiles and has contributed to several others. A day-long session (on COM) at ETC 2004, and a veteran of the 2006 World Tour, Jono's presentation skills are already well known in the Clarion community. Eliza de Jager: Not just the best looking Capesoftie on tour, Eliza holds a Masters degree in Mathematics, and has been presented to the Logic and Information seminar held in Bern Switzerland in January. (Her session on 'The Origins of Partial Quasi-Metrics and their Applications' wowed the crowd.) Her Clarion programming expertise is extensive, and she will be focusing on data presentation, using Insight Graphing and Hot-Dates. Sean Cameron: Sean handles more Clarion support than anyone else at CapeSoft. His graphical skills are unmatched, and his ability to improve the look of an application is well known. From his humble start with CapeSoft Draw and Progress, he now manages Office Inside, File Explorer, NetTalk, xFiles and a number of other accessories, as well as making numerous improvements to almost all the tools we ship. Sean is also the lead developer on the Email Server, Mailer and Office Messenger projects.

More Session Information

The format of this event is somewhat different to a normal conference. Because the emphasis is on practical, hands-on work, where you are working on your own applications, much of the time will be spent actually implementing features in your program. Once you have finished what you need to do you are free to join one of the other classes and accomplish what you need to do there.

Prepare Beforehand! 5 Days is not a lot of time. Here's a checklist for things to do before the event.

• You will need a computer.
• If you are bringing a laptop we recommend you bring a USB mouse and USB keyboard as well.
• Make sure your copy of Clarion is copied onto the computer (with suitable settings in the Win.Ini file.) Install from scratch if you have to, but it's better to have your real working environment.
• Before the event make sure you have all the latest versions of the CapeSoft tools you are using installed on the computer.
• Copy your app onto the laptop. Compile it. Run it.
• If your app uses SQL make sure you install a server, and bring some real data. DO NOT rely on the hotel internet access if at all possible.
• If your app uses TPS bring one or more data sets. If you have "real-world" data that is usually the best.
• Read the descriptions of the sessions and note any preparation you need to do.
• Download and install the DebugView program from SysInternals.

During a session we expect there to be short lectures, 15 to 30 minutes, followed by practical time where you will be working on your application. During this time the CapeSofties will be happy to answer your questions, both related to the current session, but also previous sessions.

For example: Your primary goal may be to add Replicate to your app. You attend the session on Day 1 with Jono on Replication, and you carry on working on this until you are done. During later sessions Jono will be happy to continue assisting you.  If you finish all you need to do on day 1, then pop over and learn about Insight with Eliza on day 2. If you need extra time, then Jono will be carrying on with the session on day 2.

If you miss the session on day 1, but are reasonably up to speed with Replicate, or you have Replicate issues that you need help with, pop in on day 2 to get help with those.

When planning your sessions note the tools that are required for the session, and also any optional tools that you may benefit from.

At the start and end of the day, Q & A sessions will be open to any problem, and the CapeSofties will be on hand to assist you in any way they can. This includes assisting you with debugging problems, regardless of their nature. If you have pesky bugs that need tracking down, we will do our best to assist you.
