Keynote Address From Tim Berners-Lee, a Top-Notch Exhibitor Base
And Unparalleled Educational Sessions Mark the Five-Day Event
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- CMP Media's SD Web Services
World, the only show to cover the full spectrum of software development,
closed to high praise at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. A combination
of industry-leading exhibitors, diverse conference tracks, compelling speakers
and its one-of-a-kind Web Services Pavilion made SD Web Services World a
must-attend event August 27 through August 31.
Throughout the week, the SD Web Services World Expo floor was packed with
attendees, and attention-grabbing keynote addresses from software development
luminaries such as Daniel Guinan, Bjarne Stroustrup, and John Magee
highlighted each day. Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web,
delivered Thursday's afternoon keynote on the development of the Semantic Web
and other principles of Web Architecture before a standing-room-only crowd.
Attendees departed having heard from some of the best speakers in the
industry, and with an enhanced knowledge of the most pressing issues facing
the industry today.
"SD Web Services World 2001 was another tremendous event and the success
of the conference, exhibition and speaking tracks here in Boston served as
proof that our commitment to provide top-notch content for developers ensures
that exhibitors and attendees get unparalleled value through our events," said
Mike Gottlieb, show director for SD Events Group. "We have received very
positive feedback from every group involved in the show. The developer
community recognizes that we consistently provide the definitive forum for
education, knowledge-exchange and networking."
A diverse combination of some of the largest companies in software
development and new up-and-comers made the exhibition floor the place to see
and hear about the latest products and services to hit the market.
BetaSphere, Computer Associates, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lingo Systems,
Microsoft, Oracle, Rational and Sun Microsystems were among the exhibitors.
"We chose to exhibit at SD Web Services World as its participants are
historically excellent business prospects," said Glynis Gore, director of
sales and marketing for LearningPatterns.com. "The event is a perfect venue
to showcase LearningPatterns.com's specific training services. In addition,
we find that the conference attendees are always pleased with the content of
the sessions and arrive to our booth happy with their experience. It's a
win-win situation."
SD Web Services World once again provided unparalleled conference
sessions, in which some of the top educators in the field brought real-world
knowledge and experience to the classroom. Conference attendees came away
with the latest information and techniques about topics such as XML, SOAP,
WSDL, XML, among others. The educational sessions were designed and tiered so
that both beginning and experienced developers could maximize the value they
received.
"I attended SD Web Services World specifically for the classes, and they
have been great," said Beth Finn, a conference attendee and Java developer for
BEA Systems. "I came in with a good knowledge base, but the educational
sessions provided really helped me bring it all together."
A party on the Expo floor Wednesday night and a series of
Birds-of-a-Feather gatherings throughout the show kept attendees and
exhibitors entertained after event hours each night. The next SD Web Services
World is scheduled for April 22 through April 26 in San Jose.
