podCasts, flickr, blogging and more
26-September-2005
Can't make it to Sydney, or missed out on a seat.
Never fear, we have podCasts, photos, blogging and more.
It's not quite as good as being here, but maybe next year...
And in the meantime
Jeffrey Veen workshop filling up
21-September-2005
Places are filling for Jeffrey Veen's workshop Designing the Next Generation of Web Apps. This is a very rare opportunity to see one of the world's foremost user design experts and educators speak in Sydney. If you work with web or intranet based applications, don't miss this opportunity. And if you or a colleague are coming to WE05, you'll get $100 off.
