Developers who
want to know how to harness Linux, JBoss, PHP, MySQL and Apache SOAP to develop
and deploy Web services, or to learn more about the role of JUnit and
ANT, can join their peers at EDGE 2004 (East) next week in
Boston.
(EDGE 2004 is produced by SYS-CON Events, the conference and
expo arm of SYS-CON Media, publisher of LinuxWorld Magazine and
LinuxWorld.com.)
We have educational sessions
this year focusing, among other issues, on guiding an architect to thinking
concretely about the use of open-source software in production environments; on
practical considerations around licensing, strategies to get your vendors to
contribute to open source projects; and the responsibilities of corporations to
contribute to open source software development. Another session explores the
concepts, patterns, and open source software available that facilitate building
an XML content routing system which can be exposed as a Web service or simply as
a standalone J2EE component for use in your enterprise.
Now is the
perfect time to jump into the middle of the biggest, most relevant industry conference you can attend anywhere
on the East coast this year.
