"From ASP to XML... what does it all mean???"
Molly Ruggles
Wed Jan 23, 12-01:00pm, 3-370
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Single session event
Join us for an hour's wade through the alphabet soup of the web. We'll include such highlights as the March of the MLs, the C ++ # family , the f-words (flash, flex, fireworks, etc.), 'lamps', 'pythons', 'rubies' and more. We'll also leave time at the end for your specific questions, assisted by several invited local experts.
This session will give you a better understanding of what the perl programmer down the hall is doing and you'll be less ill-at-ease when the Apache admin in your office talks about his or her 'sequel'. And, armed with a better overview of the fabric of the web, maybe you'll be tempted to wade in a little deeper on your own.
