Well, there’s a web development event coming up in October. I should be there for the Toronto event. The event topics are as follows.

Session#1: Developing Web Applications Today

In this session, you will learn about what’s happening in the Web development industry in Canada and around the world. You’ll then hear some real success stories, and where different Web technologies such as HTML and JavaScript are headed. We’ll talk about established standards, browser compatibility and much more.

Session #2: Building a Better Website

To be an effective Web developer, you need the right skills. As you build out more complex websites, factors such as security, data access, globalization, personalization and performance come into play. In this session, you’ll learn how to use design patterns to take the right approach. We’ll show you tips and tricks and established best practices to help build a better website.
