RIAPalooza Two. Designers and Developers Together For a One Day Conference in Chicago.
Last Year I attended RIAPalooza, a conference focused on the design and development of Rich Internet Applications. It was a fantastic event, with a lot of great presentations covering AJAX, Flex, and Silverlight. I wrote a recap about the event, here.
The event is happening again this year, on May 8th. It looks to be another awesome lineup of sessions. One change from last year… I WILL BE PRESENTING THERE! I’ll be speaking with a coworker of mine, Erik Peterson. We’re going to be covering a site that is about to launch for a Chicago museum. The site features an Open Source CMS, AMFPHP, Flex and lots of cool social media integration points. We’re going to be discussing not only the nuts and bolts behind what makes it work, but also the process to get from the sales pitch to the finished product. Should be a great talk!
In addition to my session, Roundarch will be there, Josh Holmes and Mike Labriola among others. This is a great opportunity to see some platform agnostic information, with technology taking a back seat to the bigger issues in RIA design. It’s a cool way to learn a little bit about Silverlight, AJAX or Flex, too.
Best of all, the event is only and includes lunch, a T-Shirt and free beer after the sessions! You can’t beat that with a wiffle ball bat. Register now.
