Great Indian Developer Summit 2010 – Biggest Event in Asia for IT
Professionals
Bangalore, January
15, 2010: Over 6500 attendees have benefited from two game
changing editions of Great Indian Developer Summit. In 2010, the biggest
independent summit for software developers in India is bringing together over 100
sessions encompassing the full range of Microsoft computing, Java, Agile, RIA,
Rich Web, open source/standards, languages, frameworks and platforms, practical
tutorials that deep dive into technical skill and best practices, inspirational
keynote presentations, an Expo Hall featuring dozens of the latest projects and
products activities, Awards to honor software excellence, engaging networking
events, and over 80 of the best and brightest of speakers from around the
world. The summit will be held 20-23 April 2010 at the IISc in Bangalore
(http://www.developersummit.com).
Dr. Venkat Subramaniam, a Great Indian Developer Summit
Alumni, is coming back this summer to the summit to conduct focused conference
sessions, a keynote and a workshop on topics ranging from .NET, Java, Groovy,
functional programming to pointy haired bosses and pragmatic programmers.
On 20th April, at GIDS .NET
Conference, he will delve into what the functional style of programming
offers and how you can utilize that using the F# language on the .NET CLR. He
will move on to discuss pragmatic ways to deal with dependencies, and how,
using mocks, effectively carryout unit tests; the focused session will also
cover reasons to use mock vs. not using them, hand tossing mocks, and using
frameworks to create them.
At the GIDS .Java
Conference on 21st April, Venkat will conduct a Jeopardy style
presentation, where attendees will drive the topics to discuss various features
of Java that require extra care and caution in everyday programming. We will
pick a sample code, identify the problems in it, and figure out how to do it
right. Later in the day you can attend a session on how to use patterns in
Groovy and go beyond the GOF patterns in Groovy and Java. Venkat's next talk
will take a deep dive into Generics, introduced in the 1.5 version (Java 5).
Venkat's keynote will address the fact that corporate
developers have to constantly contend with fallacies often delivered to them as
facts. However, each of us has a professional responsibility to be objective
and make decisions that will help us and our teams be productive and deliver
results. His talk will pick on some fallacies, lay down facts, and discuss how
to stay professional and objective in our daily efforts.
On 23rd April, at the full-day
GIDS .Workshops, Dr. Subramaniam conducts hands-on training about
functional programming -- take some familiar problems, solve it using
traditional style and then refactor it to functional style. Although the
training will use Scala and Erlang as vehicle to get the examples working, you
don't have to be familiar with the syntax. You will participate to write pseudo
code in these styles and the speaker will help you translate those into
practical working examples in these languages.
More over, you can interact with Venkat at the summit to
gain from his significant experience in architecture, design, and development
of software applications, and in having
mentored thousands of software developers in the US, Canada, Europe, and
Asia. Overall seats are limited, so register early for the conference's focused
sessions and workshops here: http://www.developersummit.com/registration.html.
