Our next meeting is Wednesday March 25 at 6 p.m.
This will be an informal meeting without a set topic or presentation. Instead I’d like to have the round-table discussion that was originally scheduled for January.
Do you have questions about the best use of Amazon Web Services? What are the pros and cons of using an event-based architecture? Have you got experience using memcached that you’d like to share? Still unsure of why you’d want to use a data grid like Coherence or WebSphere eXtreme Scale? This is the meeting you’ve been waiting for if you have these questions or answers to them. Bring any questions or experience you have to the table and we’ll all come away from the meeting more knowledgeable and capable of building scalable applications. Topics are not limited to those listed here.
We will also look ahead at what is to come in the rest of 2009. Will Rails 3.0 be the platform of choice for building scalable apps? How will Open Source Java projects like Hibernate Shards fair in ‘09? Does Google AppEngine have what it takes to gain major marketshare? What will define “Cloud Computing” this year and how will you use it in your projects? When does it make sense to virtualize your infrastructure?
We’ll meet at the IBM Innovation Center. 404 Wyman St. North Entrance Waltham, MA 02451. We’ll get started around 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome and attendance is always free.
Please register for the meeting if you think you will attend. Registering helps us make a guess about how much food to get.
