[cfaussie] Web on the Piste 08 - FREE Cairngorm

[grant straker]

Just to follow up we have confirmed Thomas Burleson to take a Cairngorm
course on the day before the conference starts. Thomas has written the
official Cairngorm course for Adobe and is also the Chief Flex architect for
Universal Mind and developed the open source  UM Cairngorm extensions.

In conjunction with Gruden we'll be giving away some free tickets to WOTP 08
at Webdu so visit the Gruden or  ShadoCMS stands at  Webdu to enter the
draw.

In reference to Dales comments earlier Microsoft did sponsor WOTP last year
and were actually really good value, and to be fair to them were simply
driving awareness of their offerings and certainly not doing a hard sell.
It's obviously good to know what the other side are doing and I found
sessions where both Adobe and MS staff were in the same room great value for
production evaluations. Last year Adobe were the clear winners and it will
be interesting to see how far MS have come in past 12 months.

Any questions about the conference then both Straker and Gruden are
sponsoring Webdu so visit our stands to find out more. Alternatively catch
myself or Todd at the bar anytime between 5pm -  5am!

[Dale Fraser]

Yeah,

 

Actually it was a good article, they were talking about Flex Builder vs
Expression Studio / Visual Studio in that case, but they did say that Adobe
killed in terms of market share of the player and that MS has a lot of
catchup to do if it wants to be successful there.

So I feel if I saw the difference in person I might be lured to the dark

again.

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!!".

[cfaussie] Re: Web on the Piste 08

[Dale Fraser]

It feels wrong if I attend a Conference with Microsoft as a major sponsor.

 

I just read an article in current magazine about flex and they said it was a
toy compared to Silverlight & Expression studio.

 

So I feel if I saw the difference in person I might be lured to the dark
side, and since we are just going down the Flex side it's too soon to change
again.

[cfaussie] Code War - 4 teams are in, last chance to register yours!

[Robin Hilliard]

So far we have two teams from Queensland:

Beach Bums ( Coastals )
- Jason S
- Wayne M
- Ricardo R
- Johanes Soetanto

Tane Coders ( Cane Toaders )
- Gareth E
- Carly G
- Darren T

And one team from Victoria:

KILLER CODING NINJA MONKEYS OF DOOM!
Mark Mandel
Andrew Spaulding
Toby Tremayne


There is room for up to four more (surely the host city can field a  
team or two, perhaps the .NET UG or WSG can provide a team...). The  
first four teams we hear from by Sunday night will have a spot on the  
starting grid.  Here's a reminder of the competition format and rules:
