Damien Mulley pointed out some of the following:
- On Tuesday, October 30th 2007 The “possibilities for a post Web 2.0 world†will be explored iby Mike Culver, Web Services Evangelist with Amazon.
The presentation will provide an overview of Amazon Web Services, the company’s distinct technology arm, which allows developers to build software applications leveraging the same robust, scalable, and reliable technology that supports Amazon’s retail business; there will also be a code demonstration showing how .NET developers can easily build managed clients for these services.
This takes place in the swanky Westin Hotel, Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2 with registration from 7.00 pm. If you wish to book a place, please contact Cormac Moore, Verkom, on (01) 432 1501 or email cmoore [ at ] verkom.ie- On November 1st Digiweb are holding a free seminar called ‘Making Websites Work’ which is part of their Online Edge Seminar Programme. At the Digital Hub, Dublin. All you have to do is go to www.digiweb.ie/onlineedge.ie and register your attendance. Registration closes at 6PM Tuesday 30th October. Laurence Veale, Eoghan McCabe and Richard Hearne will be the speakers this time round. They’ve a lot to live up to since I was fantastic at the last talk. I’m sure they might get near that high bar. You can do it guys!
- Mashup Camp Dublin. November 10th. Seriously, get to it. Also, if you have a blog and readers of the nerdy/tech variety can you let them know about it too? It’s not everyday we get people of this calibre mixing together and it would be great to see Mashup camp come back on a regular basis.
(rearranged into chronological order – mj)
If that’s not enough, check out:
- Fogbugz Euro Tour hits Dublin on November 7th. Register here. Joel Spolsky talks about the software development process with FogBugz 6.0. – An introduction to the software development process using FogBugz. Learn how to track features and bugs, write documentation, and maintain accurate schedules using the new 6.0 version of FogBugz from Fog Creek Software. This event is free at the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, Golden Lane (at Chancery Lane), Dublin 8, Ireland.
- If you’re not fussed on that, then try IrishDev’s Java Conference, also on 7th November but it runs to the 9th November if you want to attend both. It has speakers from Apache, Sun, Iona, JBoss, Oracle, and Microsoft as well as a heap of companies I’ve never heard of. Might be a good dodge off work, you never know!
I doubt I’ll actually get to any of these because weekends are sacrosanct and $BIG_BUSINESS would hardly entertain the idea of sending people to learn about something that’s “new” (they much prefer old, archaic, pre-dot-com-bubble 1.0).
If you do, ping me with your review? I can live vicariously through your experiences!
