MacHack: The Annual Conference for Leading Edge Developers June 17-21, 1998 Dearborn, Michigan
What is MacHack?
MacHack is the preeminent conference on Macintosh programming and development.
At MacHack, you will meet and talk to Apple engineers who actually work
on the technologies you will be using tomorrow. You will meet and be able
to talk with developers from hundreds of companies, all interested in Macintosh
development. You are be able able to discuss programming techniques and
issues you are concerned about. Unlike conferences such as WWDC (World Wide
Developers Conference) Apple is not talking at you, you are conversing with
other programmers about real topics that affect you on a daily basis.
And marketing is strictly yelled down.
But that isn't all. Developers at MacHack are at the bleeding edge of new
and emerging technologies. Developers for Newton and MagicCap wander around
as well just waiting to share their knowledge with any who are willing to
ask.
Now that the stuff for your boss is out of the way, here is the real description
of MacHack: 72 hours of full-bore double-barreled hacking, talking, and
brainstorming on cool ideas, concepts, and hacks. Hallway discussions of
where the Mac is headed bounce headlong into low-level discussions of patching
the Toolbox to make it do something beyond design tolerances.
MacHack is where the hackers are, those who are pushing the envelope and
trying to take hardware and software to the next stage of evolution.
If you like to wear a suit and tie, MacHack is not for
you. If you take your life into your own hands every time you power on your
machine, MacHack is for you.
