Ira just posted a note along these lines to linux.org.il, but I'll risk repeating the announcement because it's such good news: Philip Greenspun -- a recent PhD from MIT, head of ArsDigita, an amazing author and speaker, and probably the most famous guru of Web sites and databases -- will be speaking at Tel Aviv University later this week. His talks are free (as always), and I'm sure he'll be a great speaker. The lecture is not specifically about Linux, but Greenspun is a big Unix and open-source advocate, and I'm sure that most Linux hackers will enjoy what he has to say. ------------------------------------------------------------ Philip writes: I'm giving a (free) Web application design course at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday and Thursday next week (June 14,15) and thought that, since you're a photo.net user, you might be interested in attending. On Wednesday I'm covering "why". What kinds of Web applications are worth building and the best ways in which to use the Internet. It is good for a general audience but also software developers and business people. On Thursday I'm covering "how". Tools and techniques for actually building ecommerce sites, online communities, and intranets. This is appropriate for technical people and business people who have actually started a company. The courses start at 10:00 AM and end around 5:00 PM. They are free but I'm asking people to register because we don't yet know how large a room to reserve.
