AmiWest 2016 (October 7 to 9) is fast approaching and so is Amiga DevCon 2016 (October 6 to 7). The location is Sacramento, California, USA.
Please note, as always, the DevCon is a 100 % volunteer effort as is the AmiWest show itself.
A detailed tour of AmigaOS 4 with tutorials. We will be going through the Amiga Future Programming articles by Michael Christoph.
The anatomy of an Amiga disk device driver. We will be dissecting the p5020sata.device which is a SATA device driver used in the upcoming AmigaOne X5000. This isn’t just any custom made driver. It is melding between Linux libata and the traditional AmigaOS trackdisk device drivers.
Hans de Ruiter will be presenting his tutorials on Warp3D Nova. For anyone that wants to program for Warp3D Nova be sure to obtain/borrow/steal a card for the DevCon. See the Warp3D Nova press release for assistance on choosing a card.
Some information about the DevCon from the AmigaOS Documentation Wiki...
And actually so much more :-)

Developing software on and for AmigaOS involves three major components: the AmigaOS SDK, a source code Editor and your imagination.
ReplyDeleteThe first part of this equation, the AmigaOS Software Development Kit or AmigaOS SDK, is a collection of files and tools that will convert your source code into an Amiga application. The SDK consists of a collection of the latest documentation, "include" files, example code, utilities and the GCC compiler. With each major version of AmigaOS a new SDK is issued that allows developers and their applications take advantage of the latest OS features.
The second part of the equation is a means to edit and manage your programming project and its source code. While you can edit source code in the AmigaOS NotePad text editor, there are much better & easier ways. The most powerful programming environment on AmigaOS is called CodeBench. In addition to providing a source code editor that provide syntax highlighting, help as you type and context sensitive help, CodeBench takes care of building "makefiles", runs the compiler, collects & presents errors and can interact to remote source code servers.
Finally there is *! To take advantage of the specific powers of AmigaOS, there are MANY methodologies and functions to learn. The SDK provides a number of example programs to learn from and a bounty of autodocs that document AmigaOS functions. Every day there are new things to learn. :-)
