Chicago Worldwide Seminar

How to develop great international applications for Microsoft Windows
"Chicago."

The globalization team of Microsoft's Developer Relations Group will host a
one day seminar on Wednesday, September 21st on the Microsoft main
campus in Redmond, WA.  The seminar will focus on how to create
great 32-bit international applications for Windows "Chicago."  We'll highlight
the international features in Windows Chicago and explain how to
take advantage of these while still being able to target Win32 on the
other platforms.

Plan of the day

We'll begin with a short update on international opportunities for
applications running
on Windows Chicago.  Even as a developer, you need basic information on
how the
various markets around the world compare so you can plan out your
projects.  After
this short talk, the rest of the day deals directly with technical issues.

Windows Chicago extends the international support of the Win32 API in several
significant ways.  We'll provide sample code and information on how to write an
international app using the Win32 NLS APIs.  We'll explain how to
exploit Chicago's
Multilingual I/O features and how to enable your application for the
new consolidated
Input Method Editor APIs.

Then we'll have lunch.

In the afternoon we'll focus on development and localization tools including
Visual C++ 2.0, Visual C++ 2.0's AppStudio, and the  resource
localization tools
available through the Microsoft Developer Network.  With the help of sample
code we'll demonstrate how to add double-byte character support for
Far East character sets and Unicode support for both Chicago and 32-bit OLE.
We'll show how to use the various tools to localize the result.  We'll
briefly touch on
other langauges such as Visual Basic  and end with information on where to
get more help and information.
