INETA – PDC Birds of a Feather Session Discussion Forum
I totally missed this forum on the INETA site, but if you have suggestions for the PDC BOF sessions, you may want to stop by and make it public. Also, if you see a suggestion that you would want to go to, let them know. The BOF sessions gives us morts a chance to have a voice at the PDC.

SharpVectors Mentioned On XML.Com
Sean Gerety let me know about this. It seems that SharpVectors was (barely) mentioned in Paul Prescod’s SVG Open key note speech “SVG: A Sure Bet”, and it was published on XML.com.

Missing the SVG Open
Unfortunately, I had to fly back home early from the West Coast to attend to a family matter. This meant I had to cancel my 2 presentations on SharpVectors at the SVG Open. Now I consider SharpVectors to be one of my most important projects, and only family could have dragged me away from doing these presentations.

One Presentation Down, Two to Go
Well, the more prestigious of the presentations is done, now for the debrief. I thought the presentation was going to be short, but I wound up running over, and was not able to show the Bar Codes Web Service. Shows you how much I know. Lots and lots of questions, which is usually a very good sign. I didn’t think that many people would be interested in a presentation on Declarative UI using SVG, so I was surprised about the number of questions. I guess that I’ve been doing this stuff for so long without much interest from the outside world, that I’ve accepted that most folks don’t get it. Obviously I was wrong. Lots of folks get it, and are interested in it. Then why don’t SVG books sell? Hmmm. Maybe the SVG books are missing the target audience.

SVG on the Front Page of MSDN Magazine
Check it out, an article on SVG in the July Issue of MSDN Magazine. It hasn’t been released to the web yet, but I highly recommend reading Dennis Forbes’ article on Vector Graphics. I only wish that he knew about the SharpVectorGraphics project before he wrote the article. It would have been great to be able to point readers to a .Net implementation of the SVG spec. I’ve tried emailing Dennis and tell him about SharpVectors, but haven’t heard back yet. I’m sure with all the publicity he was swamped with emails.

Applied XML Developers Conference 2003 West
Have you ever wanted to create your own UI widgets, but didn't know the low level APIs for your platform's graphics engine? Or, what if you wanted to create your widget but needed to be cross platform, or even rendered in a browser. Well Scalable Vector Graphics can be your salvation. This session will show you how to create your own graphic mark up languages, and render them as SVG, thus eliminating the need to learn the low level graphics APIs. The examples will include interactive bar graphs, gauges, and a label generating web service that uses the SharpVectorGraphics SVG to GDI+ rendering engine.

Creating Bar Codes in .Net
Paschal L asked for an example of creating BarCodes using .Net and SharpVectors. What you need to start with is some markup language to describe you BarCodes. In this example I’ll use a Code39 BarCode and XML developed by Krysalis. The XML looks like this:
