The first OPC UA Developers' Workshop will be held on June 16-18, 2008 at the Marriott McDowell Mountain Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. This three-day training event will include a full day of instruction on OPC UA and two full days of specific instruction in either C++ / ANSCI C or .NET programming. This event is designed for Engineering Developers who wish to learn how to build an OPC UA server or client.

The UA Dev Workshop is aimed at developers that are about to start or have just started a project using the UA code deliverables. The complete agenda is being finalized, and tailored to the needs of the participants. The general breakdown is one day of UA design and code architecture, followed by 2 days of hands on lab using either the C/C++ or the .NET code base (i.e. there are 2 tracks and each attendee needs to pick one or the other).

An engineer who attends this course should be able to return to his/her company and develop an OPC UA product.

This important three-day event will provide a solid foundation for all developers to get a jumpstart on the bits and bytes for building products that incorporate the OPC Unified Architecture technology into their products and services. All companies who plan to roll out products that demonstrate secure, reliable interoperability need to attend this important event. The event is a hands-on jumpstart program that will feature a complete walk-through of the OPC Foundation Unified Architecture reference implementations. The original developers will provide the attendees a solid foundation for product development. We will also facilitate attendess converting OPC COM products to native OPC UA implementations.

A complete agenda will be published after we gather data from those that register prior to April 30, 2008.   The event will be tailored to the needs of the audience, as this is intended to be very tailored training and hands on to facilitate developers specific requirements.
