Conferences

Next month brings several conferences, all with strong RIA tracks. Desktop Matters is focused on Java Swing development, EclipseCon is all things Eclipse, 360Flex covers Flex, and QCon has a strong RIA track.

Desktop Matters is a new, one day conference put together by Ben Galbraith and Dion Almer, along with the NoFluffJustStuff team, with a pre-show day for networking with speakers and discussing Swing problems. While the majority of content is Swing related, there are talks about Eclipse RCP and the Windows Presentation Foundation.

EclipseCon has many tracks for the RIA developer. Numerous track suggestions have been posted for the RCP and RIA developer. OSGI’s Developer Conference will be combined with EclipseCon this year as well.

360Flex is taking place at eBay with four tracks for Flex developers: Flex 101, Real-world Flex applications, Connect Flex to any server, and Creating custom Flex components. 360Flex sold out in January and they have replaced their registration form with a sign-up form for news and updates on future events.

InfoQ’s own QCon is also in March with a RIA track.
