Web 2.0 and SOA

BACK TO THE BLOG!!! Please excuse my long absence. Setting up a new computer, a new office, starting a new venture in addition to everything else I am continuing to do has left me with little sleep and little time to do anything that was not totally essential in that moment. Blog just never made it to the list.

However, I absolutely could not fail to tell you about a great virtual event that will happen on Wednesday, March 19th. As part of the ebizQ In Action Virtual Conference Series there will be a LIVE Roundtable discussion on Web 2.0 and SOA. We have an amazing panel which includes: Dion Hinchcliffe, Founder and Chief Technology Officer for the Enterprise Web 2.0 advisory and consulting firm Hinchcliffe & Company, creator of Web 2.0 University, and co-author of "Web 2.0 Patterns: What entrepreneurs and information architects need to know"; Ronald Schmelzer, Managing Partner at ZapThink, well-known SOA expert, lead author of "XML And Web Services Unleashed", and co-author of "Service-Orient or Be Doomed"; and Doug Wilson is an IBM Distinguished Engineer, Chief Technology Officer for Portal & Collaboration Products, and the Vice Chairman of the Software Group Architecture Board for IBM Software Group.

With this group of esteemed panelists I can guarantee you a lively and thoughtful discussion. If you miss the live broadcast, it will be available in the archive. However, you must attend the live session to win any of the giveaways. ZapThink is giving away one free pass to it's Practical SOA course March 25, 2008, Newark, N.J. ZapThink is also offering ebizQ members $100 of the regular $295 price. Use this link for ebizQ members and enter the promo code EBIZQPSOA.

Hinchcliffe & Company is offering a free course in their Web 2.0 University designed to teach Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 techniques on May 6-7, New York, NY. They are also offering $300 discount of the regular $995 price. ebizQ members can use this link for the discount.

But wait, there's more (about now I feel like Ellen DeGeneres who gives all her audience members gifts), but you've got to attend the live broadcast for this one. ebizQ will award 10 copies of "Web 2.0 Heroes" by Bradley L. Jones. Due out next month, the book profiles innovators at companies like eBay, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Adobe/ Macromedia, YouSendIt, IBM,Bloglines, Ning, Technorati, Zoho and many others to show where Web 2.0-based business is going in the future.
