Hi Everyone, On behalf of the CampusEAI Consortium, I would like to invite JA-SIG community participants to attend the 2nd annual Portlets 2008 Conference. Following in the footsteps of last year's event [1], Portlets 2008 is a conference focused around collaborating, learning, and developing standards-based portlets. The conference will be held at the Cleveland State University in Cleveland OH from May 19-21 2008, and is open to CampusEAI members and non-members alike. Space is limited, so reserve your spot soon.
About Portlets 2008 Portlets 2008 will bring together portal programmers and administrators from around the world in a spirit of community and collaboration. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced portal programmers will benefit from classes and sessions covering portlet design, development, testing, and performance tuning. The emphasis is on practical, hands-on information that attendees can put to work in their organizations today. What makes this conference unique is the opportunity for attendees to interact with each other through presentations, case studies and round table discussions in order to exchange knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned during portlet development. We look forward to having you as our guests in Cleveland, Ohio!
