Revision as of 18:52, 9 December 2011

Last Updated: April 06, 2001

This page is formerly known as "Timur Tabi's Programming Links", from the old EDM/2 web site. The contents below are copied as-is, without any updates. Obviously, someone needs to go through all the links and update them. Also, Timur is no longer involved in OS/2 and has nothing to add on any of the information on this page.

This web page is a comprehensive list of all OS/2-related programming resources on the WWW. If you are looking for information on software development for IBM's OS/2 operating system, this web page is your first stop. All of the links on this page have be divided into 47 categories, so you're sure to find what you need.

One of the great things about OS/2 is that its programming models haven't changed much since it was released in 1987. That means that for over 14 years, developers have been making contributions to OS/2 that you can take advantage of today. Almost all OS/2 software written in the late 80's still works on the latest version of OS/2 Warp, which means that you never have to reinvent the wheel to get the most out of OS/2. Compare that to Windows, where Microsoft forces you to rewrite your software every few years just to stay competitive.

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.

This page only lists WWW resources. There are no pointers to ftp-able files, with a very few notable exceptions. There are, however, pointers to search engines and other pages that can direct you to a particular file.

Items that have been struck-out have invalid links, but it is not known yet where the page has moved or whether they have been deleted. Any information as to the whereabouts of these webpages would be greatly appreciated.
