Claris
Corporation
has announced that Clifford Stoll, noted
author of the recent book "Silicon Snake
Oil," is scheduled to appear as keynote
speaker at the Claris Solutions Conference
on Monday, May 12, 4 p.m. at the San Jose
Fairmont, in San Jose, Calif.
Described as
"refreshing" and "provocative"
by reviewers, "Silicon Snake
Oil," is a critique of Internet culture,
offering perspectives widely differing
from the mass media.
No stranger to the
world of computers, Stoll's credentials in
this regard add much credibility to his
latest book. His earlier bestseller, "The
Cuckoo's Egg," describes how he tracked
and caught a German spy ring operating
over the Internet. Widely known as an
astronomer and network aficionado, Stoll
admits that though he loves the network
and its community, he is also becoming
deeply ambivalent about the way the
Internet and computer technology in
general are being oversold and
overhyped.
With "Simply Better
Solutions" as this year's theme, the
Claris Solutions Conference, to run May
12-15, will provide training and
education for software developers,
consultants, trainers and users.
Benefiting
independent and in-house developers and
consultants as well as users of all
levels, the conference will cover
key Claris software applications,
including FileMaker Pro 3.0 for Windows
95,
Windows NT, Windows
3.1 and Mac OS, Claris Home Page for Mac
OS and Windows 95, Claris Emailer 2.0 for
Mac OS and ClarisWorks 4.0 for Windows 95
and Mac OS. Many of the sessions will
focus on how users and developers can
web-enable Claris software
applications.
The three-day
conference will also feature a Claris
Solutions Product Fair on Monday, May 12,
from 6 to 8 p.m. leading custom Claris
solutions available from third-party
developers.
