The Future of Web Apps Conference - or short FOWA - is simply a cornerstone of the yearly European Web conference schedule. Two years ago I joined together with Cédric for three days of a packed program with workshops, brilliant keynotes, and great presentations.
This year I'll be returning. This time as speaker, I'll be giving a presentation about lean startups. Memonic being (combined across the team) our fifth or sixth startup and as same team our second startup, we learned (sometimes the hard way) a trick or two about how to build a startup on a shoestring. The talk will focus on hands on experience and hints applicable immediately to your own startup.
Now the best thing comes: The folks over at Carsonified (The organizers of the conference) throw in two full conference passes (for Oct 5th & 6th) for you to grab!
How to win one of these two passes? Simply leave a comment on this post, mail us at <comment at memonic.com> and you will be entered into the prize draw. No strings attached. We will draw the two lucky winners on Friday September 17th, early enough to get your flight and accommodation in London. Great, right?!
Yesterday the Internet Briefing Developer Conference took place in Zurich, Switzerland. All the talks were about current technology trends and were of great quality. I did a talk about scalable applications with HTTP - basically I showed how we build our architecture at Memonic.
The background material is available in a separate Memonic Set for the HTTP Scalability presentation. That Set also includes the Slides.
During the next couple of weeks we're quite busy travelling and presenting Memonic at a number of places. We'd love to hear from you about your use of Memonic, your praise and critique. Get in touch with us.
Here' a quick overview:
Christian Leu, besser bekannt als Leumund, organisiert am Samstag in einer Woche einen gemütlichen Erfahrungsaustausch bei sich zuhause. Das Thema: Flüssige Information, d.h. wir stellen Memonic einem interessierten und kritischen Publikum vor. Teilnahme frei - Alles weitere auf dem Blog von Leu.
At Memonic we use a lot of Amazon's cloud services. I talked about our experiences with those at yesterday's Cloud Suisse conference in Zürich, Switzerland. The presentation (PDF, 1MB) is in German, but most of the information is in the graphics anyway.
I also created a Memonic Set for this presentation with some background material and additional links.
Thanks to the Cloud Suisse committee for organizing the interesting conference!
As part of the renowned Lift conference series the ThinkData Conference takes place in Lausanne on March 18. An afternoon on social, semantic, manipulation, real-time, and mobile data. Raphael Briner, the organizer and founder of Hyperweek, states a simple goal: "Learn from the data, letting it influence our ideas for the next iteration through the loop"
This past Saturday StartupCamp 2010 took place in Basel. A great event. Big hugs to the organizers!
Toni and Dorian did a presentation with 22 tips for startups. Due to popular demand you my fetch the slides in this Memonic Set.
