This page is formerly known as "Timur Tabi's Programming Links", from the old EDM/2 web site. The content has seen some recent updates but is still not fully checked so you will find the odd dead link.

Most of the links are to OS/2-specific sources of information, however links to generic (i.e. not platform-specific) sources are sometimes included for completeness.

Other OS/2 and eComStation related web sites

There are also a few related groups that have become invite only in the last couple of years.

Conferences

  • Warpstock - An OS/2 user/developer conference - Held annually in North America
  • Warpstock Europe - An OS/2 user/developer conference - Held annually in Europe
