Hi All, Just to let you all know Web on the Piste 08 is all go and we have just signed Microsoft and Cynergy Systems as Gold sponsors which is great news and helps pay the beer bills!
For those of you that didn't make it last year it's a very intimate conference and a great venue for learning, networking and having the odd adventure or two!. We have the draft agenda up http://www.webonthepiste.com/webonthepiste/agenda/agenda_home.cfm and we still have a couple of big name US based Flex gurus to put in once we have them confirmed up. The theme this year is around usability and how you use the rich technologies from Adobe and MS to build better web applications along with a splattering of general web stuff. We have Robert Hoekman Jr who's book, "Designing the Obvious" is one the best usability books out there, coming as a keynote speaker to kick things off. Both Adobe and Microsoft are sending top international speakers and we're flying down some top Flex gurus from the US. This is on top of the best local talent around. The snow has been ordered and was due to arrive this week so it will be a great weekend as well. Last years event really went well and this year should be even better. We've stopped the early bird rate but if you email [EMAIL PROTECTED] she may be able to do a deal if you are on this list! Word on the street is that we may also offer the Cairngorm intro course (delivered by Thomas Burleson who has written the official Cairngorm course for Adobe) for FREE the day before the conference but I'll confirm that up later this week. I've also heard that Geoff Bowers is going to use all the money he's making from the Farcry commercial licenses to run an open bar tab on the Thursday evening. He said something like "you guys couldn't drink it , faster than I'm making it!!".
