X# Summit in the US - March 2019

A few months ago we posted a message on our forums under the title "The X# devteam wants to meet you". The reponse to that has been very positive, so we have decided to organize the event. With the help of Greg Garza and his colleagues at QLAdmin Solutions we have booked a location and we are now finalizing the plans.

We have decided to name this the "X# Summit".

It will be held in Austin (Texas) and will be on Thursday March 21 and Friday March 22 2019 . Please block those dates in your calendar if you want to attend.We will post more information later this week with details about the schedule, how you can register, what the costs will be, how you can reserve a room at the hotel for a special price that we arranged etc.

We will present the current state of the X# development and show how to migrate your apps from VO to .Net. We will also have time to explain some of the internals of the X# compiler and runtime and how you can use the new features in the product (generics, lambda expression, linq, scripting, multi threading etc) in your apps. We will also show you the support that we have for other dialects (such as XBase++ and Harbour).
Of course there will also be plenty of time for questions and answers and to socialize with other XBase developers, exchange ideas and maybe make plans to work together.

We intend to be there with 2 people from the development team, but we are also looking for other speakers. If you are interested then you can fill a complete time slot, but it would also be great if you want to share a success story of a project that you did. Our idea is to have one time slot where people can show their applications ("Application Show"). We have done this on other events in the past and this was always very inspiring.

We did want to share this with you so you can discuss a possible trip to Austin with your family during the Christmas holidays. So why don't you come and bring your partner for a nice (romantic?) weekend after the conference.

Once again, on behalf of the entire X# development team a very happy Chrismas for you and your loved ones.
