Cutting Edge
For CM WebClient developers who want to really push the envelope with their applications, nothing matches hands-on learning from folks who are fully trained on the latest stuff. As such, we're proud to sponsor the 12th CA 2E / CA Plex Conference to help you do just that. For this fall, there's lots to look forward to. We're confident you can level up your skills with this great conference.

Take note, if you register now, you may be able to take advantage of the limited Super Early Bird special that includes F1 racing tickets. Read more about that right below this.

And of course, to help you leverage CM WebClient in your web application efforts, feel free to browse our tutorial articles below and on the CM First site.

Happy app-making!
Fall Conference
Start Your Engines for the Fall Conference
As many who work with us are familiar, CM First Group is a lead sponsor of the CA 2E / CA Plex Developer's Conference, with the next conference planned for October 25-27. If pre-launch planning is any indication, this is going to be one of the best conferences yet.

Here's the kicker: the conference is taking place immediately after the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas, Oct 22-24, with the final race held on Sunday, Oct 24. Event organizers are offering a Super Early Bird Special that adds tickets to attend this event seated with your fellow developers, and a ride to and from the conference to the track. Act fast as these tickets are limited and could sell out quickly.

You can register at the link here. If you want to take advantage of the Super Early Bird Special, simply select the "F1 Early Bird" option upon checkout.

Create An Outlook-Style Events Calendar

Calendar views are a must-have for many web-based applications. Normally, coding them into your app becomes a real challenge when your users are on the go and have a need for mobile-based viewing.

Create Rich Tooltips and Popups

In many Plex applications, basic screens show only “need to know” information, with a link to more detail. With CM WebClient, create handy tooltips that provide a better user experience.

Knowing When Enough is Enough in Mobile Design

As programmers have learned since the beginning of coding, it can be difficult to feel your program is ‘done.’ There’s always more tweaking you can do, but are you really making it better?
