Shreef

There is no available seats in tomorrow’s Cairo 6:10 am train. I ‘ll have to travel in the 7:00 am train -en sha2 Allah-, which expected to arrive to Cairo at 10:00 am (when the first session starts).

if you love me, get yourself the first seat and reserve me the seat next to you :-).

first, I’m sorry if you couldn’t IM me in the last week. I was working most of the time and had no time to chat.

I told you in the last post about that I will be in Cairo for the DemoDay. after reading the updated DD agenda, I had to decide which sessions to attend.

That’s my plan for that day -en sha2 Allah- :

06:10 take the train from sedi-gaber station
09:00 arrive to Cairo
09:45 arrive to the conference center

10:00 session: opening session
10:20 session: SOA by WCF
11:30 session: Silverlight fundamentals
12:20 session: Programmers approach to Search Engine Optimization
13:30 session: CLR by XAML
14:20 session: Iron python and C# 3.0, a dialog
15:30 session: open mic sessions
16:15 session: In-depth JavaScript: a master class

22:00 head back to Alexandria

Mohammed Hossam announced the registration opining for the SilverKey DD2 (Demo Day 2).

Date: July 7, 2007 <–(my blog’s birthday)
City: Cairo, Egypt
Location: The conferences center, Mankaure hall .

free registration and full agenda on the SKDD website.

——-
I have already registered. I read about the first SKDD and it was nice to find it targeting developers and not just another marketing event. from the agenda, you can see that most of the talks are targeting .net developers (and I’m not one of them), but I still can go to collect some new ideas from them (yea, that’s what I’m -> “ideas hunter”). also, attending some refreshing .net talks won’t be that bad .

I’m interested in the following talks:

• Iron Python and C# 3.0, a dialog
• Silverlight Fundamentals
• CLR by XAML
• Service Oriented Architecture by WCF
• 3D Game programming in Windows Environment
  (I don’t know any thing about this topic, but it sounds cool )
• In-depth JavaScript: A master class
  (I’m a web developer)
• LINQ for XML
• Open Source and Free Software Testing
• Programmer’s approach to Search Engine Optimization
  (I know allot about this topic, but I think they have more to say)
• Demo Day Open Mic (Unconference session)
  (I always get afraid of this type of sessions, one PHP guy in a room full of .net developers won’t be fair when they start throwing rocks in the ‘I love my programming language’ party)

so, If you are planning to attend this event, just contact me. I will enjoy traveling to Cairo with another geek from Alexandria -en sha2 Allah-. also, if you are living in Cairo, I will love to see you on Cairo’s train station :) .

Interesting, In Emil Stenström’s new blog post titled “Don’t attach HTML-files in Outlook“, he is writing about a problem he encountered after using Outlook to send his colleague an email with HTML file attached. Outlook did many changes to the contents of the file which broke how it should look on some browsers.
you won’t know if the person you are sending this email to is using Outlook or not. so, safe your self from falling in this problem by zipping your attached HTML files.
