by Heather Nagey

Less than a month to go! Have you got your ticket? RunRevLive.09 kicks off our groundbreaking new Revolution 4.0 featuring the revWeb browser plugin and free revMedia authoring client, plus our exciting revServer easy server scripting technology. This event, more than any other, is the opportunity to unlock your imagination and apply your Rev scripting skills to wholly new solutions that reach the broadest audience ever.

Starting September 1, in Edinburgh, we'll present dozens of hours of all-new sessions over four days devoted to the new platform. There is something for those of every experience level to learn about with this new software. And wherever you are, and whatever your budget, there is still time to be a part of it. Here's a breakdown of all the ways you could attend:

• NEW: Web Simulcast Express. We've lowered the price on our popular "tele-attendance" option so absolutely everyone can join in on the learning and fun. Tune in live to the conference via your Web browser to see and hear the information-packed sessions as they happen. Converse with other conference attendees and ask questions of presenters via our live conference chat rooms. Time-shift the sessions and catch what you missed anytime afterward. Includes Day Zero, Day One, and Day Two of the developers conference. Recordings of the sessions will be available through the end of the year, so you can watch and re-watch at your convenience.

In the morning, acquire the fundamentals you need to get around the Rev Integrated Development Environment. By the afternoon, hook up your slick Web browser plugin to a database with a few simple lines of revServer instructions. Throughout the day, get live, one-on-one help with your specific questions.

• Full Conference. Still the best way to attend, and the only way to interact face-to-face with members of the Rev community, RunRev engineers, and the executive staff at our corporate offices. This ticket allows you access to the final Day Plus "NDA" (non-disclosure) event at our RunRev offices, where we will discuss future directions RunRev will be taking, and demonstrating cutting-edge technology you won't be able to view any other way. Last year's Day Plus attendees were the very first to see and take home initial prototypes of the revWeb plugin. Just $1399. Learn more or order now.

Conference Highlights
As the conference draws near, we've confirmed speakers and sessions. Be sure to check the RunRevLive.09 site for details. Some highlights of this year's sessions:

• Mark Waddingham outlines the all-new externals API, which for the first time enables exchange of binary data, as well as multi-dimensional arrays. Additionally, the API enables passing ot pointers to data, dramatically reducing memory footprint and increasing execution speed because data no longer needs to be moved to external processes. This new API dramatically expands the possibilities for extending Revolution functionality.
  
  
• Trevor DeVore, author of the data grid in Rev 3.5, gives an in-depth look at behaviors and custom controls. And he should know! The data grid is one of the most sophisticated custom controls released for Rev to date, and makes extensive use of Behaviors. And don't miss his session on advanced techniques for the data grid itself!
  
  
•  Andre Garcia shows a soup-to-nuts example of a commerce solution: an e-store you can take home, customize, and use for your own sites.
  
  
• Learn how to build a Web-based game with Malte Brille, author of two of our most popular revSelect add-ons, chartsEngine and animationEngine.

It really doesn't matter how you get here - come by plane, boat, train, or through your browser — Just get here!
