Please join the Seattle Area Pick Users Group (SAPUG) on Thursday, June
15, for afternoon and evening sessions by Dawn Wolthuis.

Dawn Wolthuis may be best known for her blog, but she's also taught
college Math and CS and worked with one of the largest U2 vendors, as a
customer before being an employee. She is now the President of Tincat
Group.

Afternoon technical session: End-to-End AJAX - Dawn will provide an
introduction to AJAX, the rich browser user interface that burst onto
the scene in products like Google Maps and Gmail. The industry rush to
AJAX has prompted many vendors to adjust their offerings, or at least
their marketing literature, over the past year. So it might sound just
like all the other fads that come and go, but there's a reason this one
has staying power. Whether you have resisted diving into this acronym
to date or have dabbled with it yourself, this session's combination of
technical overview and juicy details has something for everyone. And
what does AJAX have to do with MultiValue? A hint is in the title.

Evening session: Is Codd Dead? - Dawn will outline some of her industry
research including both historic and visionary perspectives on
MultiValue. You might just come away with some MV Jujitsu tips to take
on rigid SQL proponents.

International Spectrum's MultiValue Conference and Vendor Fair is
returning to Seattle this October 11 - 12, 2006 The event will be held
