EDM/2 is the premier site to find OS/2 software development information.  

 

There haven't been EDM/2 news posted to the public in a long time, but the work 
to update the wiki continues. Since the last post news (September 2013) there 
had been a lot of clean up work on the articles and content that has been 
updated.  

 

Please visit the news announcement that includes the links:   

http://www.edm2.com/index.php/News:2017-October

 

Here it is a quick summary of the latest changed on the Wiki.

Books and Tutorials  

 

We did some rearrangement on the past and generated this new article with OS/2 
related Development documentation.  

 

- List of OS/2 Documentation  

 

Extra updates  

The OS/2 API Project  

 

There had been also an important effort to continue with "The OS/2 API Project" 
and consolidate more information about the OS/2 native API and also third party 
libraries.  

The File by File Documentation Project  

 

On the EDM/2 wiki there are also the effort to document more information about 
each of OS/2's files. The files are listed under "Category:Files".  

OS/2's Components  

 

Trying to get a different way to view all OS/2's components there is also the 
Components category on this page "Category:Components", when we try to explain 
the building blocks that compose OS/2 .  

 

I want to thank all the authors that allowed their articles and documentation 
to be published on the EDM/2 wiki.
