Topic

We can't think of a fun topic so instead we're going to open it to pretty much anything you want to speak about - any language, technology, framework, architectural approach, process or shape of corner.

To give you some ideas, in previous sessions we've talked about:

• Virtualization. (e.g. Xen, KVM)
• Large scale distributed application architectures.
• The Java web framework landscape.
• Making the most of mobile hardware. (camera, voice, bluetooth, GPS, etc)
• Semantic web, REST, microformats.
• Threading and concurrency techniques. (e.g. CSP, SEDA)
• Designing GUIs for usability.
• Build automation: continuous builds, tests and coverage.
• Measuring performance - profiling and instrumentation.
• Protecting against XSRF, XSS, INXS?
• Are some programming languages cheaper than others?
• Rounded corners. Can they be done?

Hosts

Joe Walnes, Neil Dunn, Malcolm Rowe, Zak Cohen, Jon Skeet, Matt Godbolt
