WHAT: Applying Open Source Web Technologies COSST Symposium
WHEN: Saturday Oct. 18. 9am-6pm
WHERE: Jazz Semiconductor auditorium, Conexant Systems
Overview
--------
Our technical focus will be on using LAMP and Java open-source =
technologies.
The LAMP acronym is used to describe a typical open-source platform =
"stack"
for web applications:
* Linux operating system
* Apache web server
* MySQL/PostgreSQL databases
* Perl/PHP/Python languages
The symposium will open with foundation talks providing an overview of
open-source software and Linux as an open-source web application =
platform. A
series of application-tier talks will provide insight from the point of =
view
of widely used web application development languages: Perl, PHP, Python, =
and
Java. The final session will be an experience panel, which will provide =
an
opportunity for experience reports from actual development projects to
illustrate real-life problems and opportunities of OSS.
Target Audience
---------------
The target audience for the symposium is professional software engineers =
and
technical management. The audience is expected to have a diverse =
background
involving many operating systems and languages, with experience in =
software
system development for a variety of industrial, military and commercial
purposes. Attendees will include experienced professionals who have had
little or no exposure with open-source software and are looking for a =
good
introduction.
Symposium Goals
---------------
The goal of the symposium is to provide participants with a high-level,
technically sophisticated overview of major open source software (OSS)
technologies for
web application development. The symposium will provide information =
about
technology, resources, and supporting tools and processes of the OSS
community. The attendee will take away from the symposium a basic
understanding of the available technologies, information about how to
acquire and learn more about the various packages, and insight that will
enable them to make informed decisions about using and deploying =
specific
OSS technology in web applications.
The technical sessions will address:
* overview - what is it, what does it do, what problems does it solve
* key features - description of key features with short examples
* application examples - a few simple examples of doing something useful =
or
where/how to apply the technology
* applicability - when should you use it? [or when not!]
* resources - where to get it, who maintains it, where
to find help, documentation, assistance, mailing lists
