Mathematica Summer Camp ran July 1–13 at Curry College. This year we had 22 high school students from all over the world who came together to learn Mathematica. By the end of camp, each student created his or her own Mathematica program, which they presented on Friday. They all worked hard to complete their projects in order to submit them to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project.

Before you know it, it'll be October and time for the Wolfram Technology Conference 2012. We thought you'd be interested in finding out more about some of the things we're doing this year. First, we're offering a social networking and personalized schedule-building tool for all registered attendees. You can connect with your fellow attendees, arrange meetings with Wolfram staff and other participants, create your schedule, and rate talks and share comments throughout the conference. Feel free to dive right in and create your own profile.

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the Wolfram Technology Conference 2012, October 17–19 in Champaign, Illinois! Wolfram is innovating at a breathtaking pace. Hear directly from developers about the latest technologies for mobile devices, cloud computing, interactive deployment, and much more.

For the first time, we're holding a virtual event in a new talk-show format. We'll put Mathematica experts live on camera to answer your questions about visualization. Our host will accept questions in real time and pass them to three of our graphics experts. You can also submit your question when you register for the event. We will be prepared to address questions on graphics and visualizations, similar to these: How can I add a drop shadow to my plot? How can I independently color different sides of a surface? How can I turn several locators on and off on a graphic with a mouse click? How can I make an x-y scatter plot with auxiliary histograms placed next to the x-y axes? How can I create an intertwined graphic like the one below? The virtual event will be held Tuesday, May 22, from 11am to noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Ever since we launched the Computable Document Format (CDF) last summer, people have been excited about the ease of deploying interactive documents to their clients and on their websites, and we're seeing CDFs used to enhance blogs, textbooks, and other applications in many different areas. Now we're holding a virtual workshop where you can hear from the author of an award-winning CDF textbook, chat with Wolfram experts in publishing and application development, and learn how to get started with your own projects. The Wolfram CDF Virtual Workshop will feature a keynote by Conrad Wolfram plus talks and Q&A sessions with Wolfram experts. The virtual event will be held Tuesday, April 24, at the following times: * 8am–noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT); 1pm–5pm British Summer Time (BST) * Repeat session: 1pm–5pm EDT; 6pm–10pm BST Virtual seats are limited—see the event schedule and register today!
