Special Social ActivitesThe conference is in the middle of downtown Portland in an area that's packed with microbrews, restaurants, music and museums. See the info page for more details.
Keynote SpeakerChristian Werner: Developer of AndroWish Christian has accepted our invitation to be the keynote speaker.
Christian Werner is a self-employed software engineer and consultant living and working in Southern Germany. He developed open source ODBC and JDBC drivers for the popular SQLite engine and an ODBC binding for the Ruby programming language. He frequently uses Tcl/Tk in his paid work (mainly automation and communication) since the mid-nineties and recently started the AndroWish project, a native port of Tcl/Tk on the Android platform. Tcl has been available on the Android platforms for years, but porting Tk is a major advance for rapid prototyping on that platform. Come to the conference to get details on just what Christian did and how you can use his work to develop Android apps in hours instead of weeks. Experts who have confirmed attendance
