• XML Conference #10 - David Ing

  Just listened to David Ing's talk. He's the Chief Software Architect at Meridian Project Systems. It was pretty dense. He warned us beforehand, though: This talk is 2 years of design decisions Read More Rory | 1 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference #9 - Ted Neward

  Ted Neward's turn. Talking to a room of (mostly) .NETters must be kind of tough for a guy with such a strong Java side. It's strange, because it seems like Ted just won't choose one or the other Read More posted Thursday, July 10, 2003 10:54 PM by Rory | 7 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference #8 - Patrick Logan

  Patrick Logan just gave his presentation on "XML Applications," and it was really cool. First of all, the app he showed us was written in Jython. I have an inner-geek who enjoys the idea of Jython, and Read More Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference #3 - Don Box

  Don Box just came on. The one thing I would have changed about his presentation is his hair. I'd like to take him to a day spa where I could have it cut and styled in a manner that pleases me.
