After being much wow'd at NJ Code camp on Saturday by web parts and authentication models, and continuing to drool over start.com, I've resolved to sharpen my knowledge on these through revamping my site.
hence a bookmark to myself on atlas: http://www.nikhilk.net/Entry.aspx?id=94

British Library
Amazing - the British Library has put some books on line (not incedible alone), including a notebook by Da Vinci (cool content).
The book viewer shows you the book itself (you actually "flip" the pages), and there is even a "maginfying glass" available. (enrich the user experience)
Lastly the page is enriched further with optional audio and text. (extend and enrich the content).
What a great site.

Gartner AD Confrence Tracks
The Gartner Applicaiton Development confrence was devided into 4 primary tracks:
- application life cycle for SOA
- AD resource management
- modernization and integration
- AD governance and control
This is a pretty good deliniation of the industry if you accept the SOA pill. Specifically SOA presents new demands on application development both in how applications are developed and managed, how existing assets can be leveraged, new roles required, and environment challenges like SOX and ever increasing security threats.

Gartner AD summit arrival - non technical
The confrence is in grapevine TX, right near Dallas.
As my wife is joining me on this trip we decided to fly into Austin and drive to Dallas. I lived in Austin for a whe, andwanted to sow her some of my old haunts.
We were unable to carve out much time for Austin, and rain dampened some of the experience, but I was able to show my wife enough she'll be eager to go back.
If you get to Austin:
Rudy's BBQ
Oasis on lake travis
6th street at night
4th street too
hills on north Austin (arboretum area).
I also will be looking for a chance to get back to San Antonio.
The drive from Austin to Dallas was smooth, although there was an accident requiring 2 medivac helicopters, which had I-35 shut dow both ways for a short strech.
The confrence is at a very nice, and huge resort and convention center; the Gaylord Texan.

Gartner application development summit
This week I'm attending the Gartner Application Development Summit, and Enterprise Architecture Summit.
In 2003 I attended the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services summit.
Over the next few days I'll be posting both current messages from my attendance, as well as changes from what I remember. I'll also give some personal experience and perspective.
