Web on the Piste: got a hankering for a bit of snowboarding?

Web on the Piste: got a hankering for a bit of snowboarding?

Yesterday I caught up with Todd Trevillion and Mark Stanton of Gruden - those of you who came to the very first Web Essentials way back when will recall that Mark gave a presentation on semantic markup - it all seems so quaint now! Sadly pre podcasting, so we can’t relive it.

Anyway, they’ve got their own event going. This year, for the second time, they’re hosting Web on the Piste: a two day conference focussing on usability and RIAs - WPF, Flex, AIR, Silverlight, Flash, .Net, Coldfusion and AJAX. But the really cool part is the location: Queenstown NZ, and the dates: August 21 and 22, right in the heart of snowboarding and skiing season. The conference is followed by a couple of optional days up on the mountain. Featuring Robert Hoekman Jr on only his second trip outside the US (he spoke for us in Melbourne and Canberra back in May and must have decided he liked the Southern Hemisphere so much he just had to get back there again pronto), Aussies Jeff Bowers, James Breeze, as well as a whole host of experts covering off the various RIAs. If the success of last year is anything to go by, this will be a fun filled, entertaining and instructive few days, so dust off the gear, forget Thredbo, and register today!
