Wally is coming to Jacksonville
Wally is coming to Jacksonville to speak on Atlas on September 6th, 2006. Wally is a very interesting and entertaining speaker. His book Beginning AJAX with ASP.NET has come out recently. He is also working on another "Beginning Atlas" book. Apart from being an INETA speaker, he runs the ASP.NET Podcast Show. I met Wally last year in October in Birmingham Code Camp. After that, he sent me one of his Wally T-shirts, but I am still too scared to wear it and lose my own identity :) Wally is making up for not coming to our Code Camp on August 26th. Memphis had their code camp the same day. Wally, being a homer, had no choice but to be there. But he did miss the ice cream! However, he was with us virtually and did a podcast in the morning. The podcast will come out pretty soon.
Here is the abstract of Wally's talk for Jacksonville Developers User Group:
AJAX and client side technologies are all the rage with programmers. Microsoft is working on a set of technologies for building client side web based applications. These applications can rival the capabilities of Windows GUI applications. We'll look at going beyond what’s available in AJAX and see what other features the MS Atlas Framework will deliver.
Wally has couple of videos on Wrox web site as well. One of the videos was done during Atlanta Code Camp (held in May 2006). Here are the links:
