Tech Talks

Until Recently, home networks were primarily the realm of technophiles - most families either didn't need or couldn't afford more than one computer. But now, in addition to using computers for e-mail, people use them for schoolwork, shopping, instant messaging, downloading music and videos and playing games. For may families, just one computer is no longer enough to go around.

Join us in this session of Tech Talks as we discuss the fundamentals of networking and give a quick overview on how it works in the real world

Date: Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Time: 4:00pm - 6:30pm

Oracle Technology Day

Oracle is organizing a seminar (Oracle Technology Day) on Wednesday, February 21, 2007. At this Oracle Technology Day, you will get an update on the progress of grid computing techniques and implementations. For those of you who don't know, grid computing is applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same time – usually a scientific or technical problem that requires a great number of computer processing cycles or access to large amounts of data. Grid computing uses software to divide and farm out pieces of a program to as many as several thousand computers.
The seminar will be at Hilton Green Plaza Hotel, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Please drop an email if you are interested.

Middle East Developers Conference 2007

I've been in Cairo for the past week to attend the Middle East Developers Conference 2007 (MDC). I decided to write an article about the MDC since probably most of you haven't heard about it. MDC is the biggest Developers' Conference in the Middle East, and is a critical event for any developer who wants to see the newest as well as the next-generation technology. MDC is full of sessions and activities that help you learn the current and future of the Microsoft platform and get to know people who are as passionate about software as WE should be!

The MDC this year had speaker from the US, Europe and the Middle East delivering over 40 technical sessions, interactive labs and workshops. The MDC also had a competitions between the attendees (http://mdcgadgetcup.com/)

The MDC was held in the Cairo International Conference Center from the 4th to the 7th of February. Take a look at the official MDC07 website for more info: http://mdc07.com

MDC is a MUST-ATTEND event, so see you next year in MDC 2008 isA :)
