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

User groups

Want to meet other OS/2 users and developers?

Companies and individuals offering OS/2 services

  • Arca Noae - USA based company, offers ArcaOS, driver updates, and sundry custom install, development, and deployment services.
  • BWW Bitwise Works - Austrian company that offers custom OS/2 programming services and more.
  • eComStation.it/Massimo Sangriso - Italian integrator, provides all common services and sales locally.
  • Neil Waldhauer aka Blond Guy - California, USA, does consulting and support of OS/2 related systems.
  • Russ Harvey - OS/2 consultation and services in Canada

Project and source hosting

Websites that provide a range of support options for OS/2 developers, the big two are SourceForge and GitHub and they have their own separate pages.

  • Bitbucket - Offers both free and paid project hosting.
  • Code Base - Project hosting - Not free but inexpensive and has more features than most free alternatives.
  • Launchpad - Project hosting - Primarily intended for open source projects.
