Great Indian Developer Summit 2008!


Great Indian Developer Summit kickstarted very well this year at prestigious IISC Institute, Bangalore. The summit was a five days event starting May 19th till May 23th with three co-located conferences. Starting with Bleeding-edge .NET (2 days) and Rich Web (day) until Daring Java, it was fully power packed with more than 100 sessions from 60+ speakers and over 3000 technical enthusiasts as audience.

It was Icing on the cake by having speakers like Jesse James Garrett and others. The parallel sessions made the audience to hop between different halls all the time. The summit was a success as it offered incisive insight through keynotes, focused sessions, lightning talks, power panels, Birds of Feather (BoF) discussions, and hands-on workshops.

I am really happy to have attended the Rich Web and Daring Java conferences. The key notes were really impressive which fuelled the rest of the day sessions. Lastly we friends had some nicer fun moments at all the stalls along with the new learnings about the whos doing what...

The summit ended with the Great Indian Developer Awards and Java Teenage party held at impressive palace grounds, bangalore.
