TBCON 2005 Resources

We had a great time at TBCON 2005. About 90 ToolBook and .NET developers traveled to Colorado Springs from July 30 - August 3 to enhance their skills, meet other developers, and have fun. In the words of one attendee, "This was my fourth conference and I believe it was the best -- I really feel that I picked up some great tips and ideas from all of the sessions and pre-sessions."

Here are a few highlights:

SumTotal Systems ToolBook Design Awards

Congratulations to Michael Hersh of USASMDC the Best ToolBook Online Training. A big pat on the back also goes to the Verizon team of Tom Hall, Lee Karns, and Peter Hoyt for winning the best ToolBook Productivity Tool for "The Verizon CIS Rapid Development Suite." Both teams won Apple iPod Minis.

Thank you to SumTotal Systems for sponsoring this contest. Charley Delaney and Michael Ormes did their usual superb job of judging all the outstanding entries!

Platte Canyon VBTrain.Net Design Awards

Congratulations to Mauro Rech, Bob Culver, Steve Stacy, Marvin McFarland, Shannon Taylor, and Kim Halat for their award-winning entries.

Visit the VBTrain.Net site for more information.

Hack-Ack

Bill Hurley regained his crown with a game show created in ToolBook. Mike Cline created the first Windows Forms .NET hack ack. Mauro Rech also had a very strong entry. Chris Bell wowed the crowd with his juggling and comic skills in a demonstration entry. Great job everyone!

Attendee Comments:
  • Facilities were decent. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was fairly close together so there wasn't a lot of trekking across campus.  (2005)
  • Topics were good and varied. I think the true value of some of the sessions will be when we return home and look at the archive files and attempt to apply the knowledge to our projects.  (2005)
  • I received many tools for shortcuts that will decrease my development time!  (2005)
  • Whether you are a novice or advanced developer, this conference has something for everyone. All presenters (and attendees) are more than willing to help you and share their experiences. There's no other conference like it.  (2005)
  • Preconference sessions were the best part!  (2005)
  • I had a great time. Thanks for a wonderful experience!  (2005)
