Another day, another conference...
The slides from today's session are available on SlideShare. This session was almost ridiculously jam-packed, with standing room overflowing into the hallway. I think it went well -- thank you all for attending.
2 sessions down, 1 to go!
Coming up for air, briefly. I have a busy month, but will be soon giving a preview of what I've been up to:
Today I'm recording a podcast with John Willis, master of all things ESM and Cloud. Should be up in the next few days.
I'm presenting the Cloud Computing tutorial at QCon San Francisco on Monday, November 17th. Also at QCon, I'll be speaking Thursday afternoon at the REST track on Designing Enterprise IT Systems with REST, wherein I try to explain in my own words what it means for a REST API to be hypertext-driven. As a case study, I'll give a sneak peek of some of the design decisions we've made with Elastra's ECML and EDML, such as our approach to linked data in some parts of the architecture, SPARQL in other parts, and the balancing act of modeling & managing data (aka "Using the Semantic Web like Tabasco Sauce ... a little goes a long way").
That same week, Wednesday November, 19th, I will be at the San Jose Fairmont speaking at the Cloud Computing Expo, on Cloud Computing and the Next Generation of Enterprise Architecture. This discusses Elastra's novel approach to architecture-aware, decentralized cloud computing & data centre automation. We enable composable systems management designs that can listen to & provision changes throughout a system's lifecycle.
