One minor note on these announcements - the present tense language of topics related to AR System 7.6.03 are because the WWRUG10 event is expected to occur after AR System 7.6.03 is released. Statements like "now includes" in the paragraphs below must not be interpreted to mean that the features are actually available right now (Aug 6th, 2010) - nor that AR System 7.6.03 has already shipped. They're intended to be the description used during a future event (i.e. one that occurs Oct 18-22, 2010).

Topic User Interface Design Patterns in AR System Abstract The AR System now supports more sophisticated UI capabilities than many traditional AR developers know what to do with. Don't worry - the best way to leverage them is often to apply them in ways that users have already come to expect in other applications. This talk will cover a range of advanced UI techniques that are achievable using AR System today. Whether you call these "design patterns" or simply "best practices", this approach helps translate modern UI requirements AR System constructs. Synopsis Anyone interested in upgrading the look and feel of AR System applications to a "web 2.0" experience should attend this talk.

Many new Developer Studio features will be covered, including * graphical workflow visualization, expanded object searching, improved workflow analyzer * search-based working lists, object labeling, printing any object, generating documentation from any object list, preview forms in a built-in browser Other tricks and tips for power users will be introduced. Topic Extending Developer Studio with Custom Plugins Abstract Developer Studio has many powerful features, but there may some missing functionality particular to your environment or development process. A powerful feature of Developer Studio is the ability to extend it by writing your own Java/Eclipse plugins.
