Let me introduce myself: I am Jennifer, Assistant Editor of SiliconIndia & the SmartTechie magazine. SiliconIndia is organizing the WebApps Conference at Chennai on April 9th, 2011. The conference brings together web developers, web designers, technology enthusiasts, innovators, vendors, and users to experience the future of Web Applications. The conference is designed to bring together experts in all aspects of designing, and developing Web applications. In today's internet world, the web-based applications are revolutionizing both the features and technologies to develop and design the applications.They also involve a diverse collection of issues and technologies. WebApps 2011 guarantees an influential platform for dialogue amongst the web development community at large, the conference is the must-attend developer forum showcasing key web technologies. Attendees meet, mingle and exchange ideas with like-minded participants on groundbreaking technologies and emerging industry trends, through informal networking and peer discussions. The conference gathers Web Application Developers, Application Managers, Web Architects, Web and Graphic Designers, Web Development Managers, Web Strategists, Web Technologists, Business Strategists, E-commerce Managers, Product Managers, Technologists and Entrepreneurs and others. I was exploring the possibility of a speaker from Wikimedia at our event. I have enlisted the topics below. Once you identify a speaker, I would like him/her to choose the topic of his/her choice. Each session will be for 40 minutes. The key is to refrain from marketing yourself or your company in anyway, and to share technical knowledge with our audience. The audience is looking to learn new techniques, get tips and hear fresh ideas that they can use immediately back at their office/ projects. More than high level stuff, they are interested in practical ideas to implement. TOPICS: Lessons learned in developing Web applications Powerful Tools that You Need (and Probably Don't Know About) Guidelines and best practices: Architecture of web applications eCommerce web app Architecture and Scalability: Ten lessons from eBay Developing secure and high performance web applications Situation Normal, Everything Must Change Performance Engineering for WebApps DATE: April 9th, 2011 (Saturday) TIME: 9.00 AM to 5.30 PM VENUE: Chennai http://www.siliconindia.com/events-overview/web-application-Chennai-WEBapps… Looking forward to hear from you.
