Techfest 19 & ACED

TF_speaking_twitter-01This year’s UKOUG TechFest 19 conference is over.  The first time in a number of years where the user group conference hasn’t been a combined Tech, Apps and JD Edwards event.  I have to admit that I was a little concerned with the separation of Tech and Apps as some of the tech stack overlaps for the two groups – for example, Integration Cloud.

That said, the situation being what it was, I got involved with the committee for planning the event including inheriting the stream lead responsibilities for Dev (in the sense of modern development e.g. microservices etc) and what had been historically referred to as middleware (Integration Cloud, Digital Assistant, Helidon, WebLogic) with a lot of support and input from Mark Simpson, Grant Ronald and Susan Duncan.

From my perspective, I  don’t think there was a concern (and this isn’t an attempt at being self-congratulatory) as the hard graft is done by the UKOUG office staff.

As the number of people was smaller, we had a smaller venue rather than the ICC in Birmingham or the ACC Convention Centre in Liverpool – which actually worked out well. The problem of the ICC and particularly the ACC is that main community spaces had been very large as a result atmosphere suffered. This time the Grand Hotel in Brighton was really busy and vibrant as a result.

Reception Desk

 

We had a good blend of sessions covering traditional integration, low code, cloud, microservices, API, UI with people from customers, partners and Oracle travelling in from all over Europe and the US to participate and present.

In terms of my presentations and the ones, I managed to see, I’d particularly recommend checking out in the UKOUG library …

Latest Packt Publishing promotion

ebook, free, Packt, promotion

Packt are repeating the promotion that they ran earlier in the year where each day they give away a free ebook. The books so far are (at least from my perspective) a little niche – developing for Kinect for example. Go check it out each day until the 17th you might see something that works for you.

Packt Promotion as they hit 2000 titles

20 Thursday Mar 2014

books, Packt, promotion, statistics

We’ve just heard that Packt Publishing have reached 2000 titles now.  To celebrate they’re running a promotion until  26th March 2014 with a buy one get one free. The offer is unlimited within the period and the discount will appear when you checkout.  For more go to  Packt here.

Packt2KPromo

This news got me thinking I’ve contributed to the book authoring process for 5 books now – which means I’ve contributed to 0.25% of the Packt books.  Reviewing a book takes on average 4 hours per chapter and most Packt books comes with 10-12 chapters. If it takes 4 times longer to write a chapter (16 hours) that’s 160 hours per book and 32,000 hours of authoring effort in the Packt library, which equates to over 3 1/2 years of non stop writing.

My friends at Packt Publishing have just told me they are repeating last year’s amazing offer of ebooks at a flat price of $5 (for us Brits that’s £3.05) go here.  The Offer runs from sometime today (19th Dec) through to the 3rd of January.

The offer covers both their Open Source books, but also their Enterprise books as well (lots of Oracle and Microsoft publications).

Given the pricing you can’t go wrong.  I know last year I ended up with about 6 months of technical reading.
