Thursday, February 12, 2009 | News | All
Packed with premium knowledge, action plans and advice from been-there-done-it veterans, creators and visionaries, the 2009 edition of the Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS) features focused sessions, case studies, workshops and power panels that will transform attendees into a force to be reckoned with. To be held 22-25 April 2009 in Bangalore, featuring three co-located conferences on Microsoft technologies (Apr 22), Rich Web (Apr 23) and Java (Apr 24), one exclusive day for in-depth workshops (Apr 25), a high-profile awards ceremony (Apr 25) and a generous dose of tomfoolery, this looks like being one of the key events on the Indian tech calendar for 2009.
With feedback from over 3000 delegates last year, the program committee has finalized over 75 core sessions and over 10 workshops, which will use various interactive discussion formats and cover a wide range of topics. The subjects covered include Java, REST, Unit testing, Groovy, Spring, Struts 2.0, SOA, Cloud Computing, Web Services, JRuby, RoR, Ruby, JVM, JPA, Apache, Grails, Agile, HTML 5, Ajax, ADO.NET, C#4.0, C# vNext, Visual Studio, ASP.NET Ajax 4.0, T-SQL, Silverlight, and more. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from some of the world's best and brightest speakers -- Craig McClanahan (Java Studio Creator), Venkat Subramaniam (Agile Developer Founder), Beat Schwegler (S+S, Web 2.0, SOA), Ola Bini (JRuby Core Developer and Ruby), Nikhil Kothari (ASP.NET & .NET, Silverlight), Dr. Jim Weber (SOA, REST), Thomas Marrs (Apache Utilities), Jonas Jacobi (Founder of Kaazing), Chad Hower (Cosmos, ADO .NET) and several others. The committee at GIDS seems to have come up with a great program that promises to help developers greatly increase their productivity and stay motivated throughout the year.
GIDS has also planned for a fun evening on Saturday, the 25th of April, where Cyrus Broacha will be entertaining the audience with a unique program called "The Developer Strikes Back!" alongside the Great Indian Developer Awards ceremony.
The shortlist for the awards will be announced shortly at www.developersummit.com/awards.html and everyone is invited to vote for the shortlisted products. GIDS is offering an exclusive pass to all delegates registered for any one of the conferences or workshops.
