Howdy all,
This came across another list I am subscribed to, but I thought it might be of interest to some of the folks on this list as well. Take Care, Seth From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Sline Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 7:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [HJUG] Last Call For Guaranteed T-shirt - Houston Techfest Sat 9/13 - FREE Event with 3 Java Tracks / 15 sessions this year (register by 8/31 for the shirt). Last year over 500 Houston area software developers and thought leaders gathered for a day of in-depth technical learning, filled with over 20 instructional presentations, and endless opportunities to network with friends and peers. This year the learning continues, and promises to be even better than before. Area technology group leaders are proud to announce that the Houston TechFest will be taking place on September 13th at the University of Houston Main campus. The event has expanded considerably, as this year we are offering more than 50 technology presentations ranging from the product focused; Microsoft's Silverlight, Linq, and Oracle to methodology discussions on Scrum, Agile Development, and Exception Handling. There will even be sessions on robotics and video game development. The entire schedule can be found at http://www.houstontechfest.com/dotnetnuke/HoustonTechFest/Agenda/tabid/55/Default.aspx <http://www.houstontechfest.com/dotnetnuke/HoustonTechFest/Agenda/tabid/55/Default.aspx > . The presentations and technical training sessions are given by professional developers and thought leaders in the Houston IT community. The Keynote address will be given by Sang Shin, a Technology architect, consultant, and evangelist with Sun Microsystems. This is truly the single most important, Must Attend event for any software developer in the Houston Area this year. For complete details, please visit http://www.HoustonTechFest.com. Note: This year we have three full Java Tracks with 15 great sessions on topics such as Concurrent programming, exception handling, Spring, Java FX, Google Web Toolkit, etc. If you still need a reason to go, here’s 10 reasons why you should go to Techfest this year: 10.
