So the first round of our new improved Dev2Dev Tech Days has come and gone.
We hosted our developer audience in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne and got the Mashup message out to a great turn-out in each city.
Attendees in Sydney were hit with a pop quiz during their presentation just to keep the interest levels up - Do you know what AJAX stands for? JSON? REST? What does idempotent mean? Congratulations to the winners (and see below for the answers).
Attendees in Brisbane not only got to learn all about Mashups the BEA way, took home a Dev2Dev giveaway and a DVD... they also got to see Johnny Depp and Keira Knightly go around in "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End".
We'll be hosting these events every three months or so, and we'll widen the audience so Perth, Adelaide, Auckland, Wellington watch out. Dev2Dev Tech Days are coming your way.
Thanks to all who attended and filled out the feedback forms, and extra special thanks to the presenters from my team - Devon, Campbell, Raju - great job guys, well done and thank you.

Oh, and the pop quiz answers; Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, JavaScript Object Notation, Representational State Transfer, and an idempotent operation is one where multiple applications of that operation will yield the same result (thanks wikipedia!)
