There's only a couple of days left.
Of to WDS07, four days of web overload. The busiest week of the year, it seems. Tuesday a Beginning Ruby on Rails workshop, to get a kickstart into RoR. Wednesday Mobile Web design and development for a pocket internet. And Thursday and Friday the conference with a divers range of topics from Transcending CSS to Mob rules. And to tip it of a Saturday evening WebJam with the coolest kids in town. Oh, and it's a long weekend, so Sunday night we'll be going to the Afterlife party, so by then Monday will be an all-day-in. Can't remember the last time I was being so social.
I'm a self-confessed Web geek, and a Web conference junkie. Still recovering from a 6-day security training beginning of the month and BarCampSydney2 on only last weekend, an other exciting month is coming up. September plays host to not only Apec (and its disruptions on everyday life, but we do get an extra public holiday, woohoo), but 4 days of Web Directions South (conference and workshops, 25-28/9) and in its wake Hatch Day + Webjam (29/9). But the weekend before Web Directions, on September 22/23, there is an equally interesting Information Architecture conference: Oz-IA. A good Information Architecture is the basis of any usable website, so to get the basis right you start here, at the Oz-IA conference, the perfect warm-up for Web Directions. It's a packed weekend with presentation, panels, workshops, inter-session activities, and of course networking. If you're thinking of getting into web design, and never heard of Information Architecture, this is the conference to go to!
Sydney is a great place for conferences!
