Tom and I are super happy to finally announce that we’ve teamed up with O’Reilly to bring two new events into the world!
InsideRIA and InsideMobile!
The goal of each event is twofold:
- We want to give developers an opportunity to get down and dirty with each platform. This way an attendee can walk away knowing which technology feels better for them.
- We want to bring together developers in those spaces for more open ended conversations that are technology agnostic. This way you can talk about the general problems and frustrations of the space vs the indidividual technology.
For InsideMobile, there could be a “How do I update a table view in WebOS vs Android?” session, but there will also be generic sessions, such as “How to lay out your app for a small screen size”.
InsideRIA will leverage the awesome community of the InsideRIA blog. The conference purpose is to provide a real world connecting point for Silverlight, JavaFX, Flex, etc developers. There will be opportunities to explore the different techs, but also to discuss generic topics such as “What does Rich mean?” or “How do I design a RIA?”
Both events will be at our famous stomping ground, eBay Town Hall, birthplace of 360|Flex and 360|iDev. Each event will be 2 days: One day of pre-conference training day to get hands-on with the various techs. The second day is a multi-track event, filled with traditional speaker led sessions.
You know Tom and I, so this won’t be some weak sauce marketing event showing off “Roadmaps, future features, etc” that’s for the birds. This will be hands on and/or deep dive nitty gritty details from developers actually building in these platforms.
This is also the Call for papers! Have a mobile or RIA topic you’d like to propose? We’re very open to topic ideas! Send us an email!
