We're inviting all developers and architects to join us for a special event in London focussing on development, testing and architectural best practices in the cloud.
When and where?
Tuesday 9th November, at the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel. We'll get started at 2pm, and finish up with a beer at around 5pm.
What will be covered?
Working with on-demand, elastic infrastructure services is an effective way to decrease development times by reducing the heavy lifting of provisioning services, and allowing dev, test and QA teams to stay focused on the task at hand.
We'll be discussing application architecture, cloud best practices and security, along with useful development, deployment and testing tools that can help to get up and running quickly and a range of real world case studies. If you're looking for pragmatic guidance on working with the cloud, this is a good place to start. All killer, no filler.
Who is speaking?
I'll be there, introducing architectural patterns for the cloud and how to use elastic infrastructure to increase development velocity in teams of all sizes. We'll have some fantastic guest speakers from expert customers who will share their real world stories of working with AWS:
- Andy Nichol: Director, Commercial Product Delivery, Telegraph Media Group
- Jodi Moran: Director of Engineering, Playfish
- Craig Box: IT Architect, Symbian Foundation
- Michael Brunton-Spall - Developer Advocate, guardian.co.uk
How can I register?
You can register here, at the event page. It's free to attend, but space is limited.
We're looking forward to seeing you there!
