Since this blog was starting to be full of ghosts, i said that i must break the silence by some quick post.

Last Saturday I attended the JDC 2010 (Java Developer Conference) which is organized by EGJUG , I attended the last JDC which was at 2008 and it was pretty good and after looking at the agenda of 2010, i just couldn’t resist

Most of the sessions were quite interesting, i got to know some of the new technologies and made some good contacts with great people in the industry here in Egypt.

I also bought an excellent book “Secrets of the Rock Star Programmers” by Ed Burns who was a speaker at the conference (and he was also a speaker at 2008), and he signed it for me , Thanks Ed.

After the conference we had a quick visit to Google

Actually that was at the Google Booth , Some of the Google guys were there like AbdelKarim Mardini showing the new Nexus one and some other cool stuff.

A lot of interesting people was there like Sang Shin, Fred Sauer, also from Egypt Mohammed El-Refaey whom i really enjoyed talking to.

So in the end, it was a pretty good day and meeting a lot of my friends added a tasty flavour to the mixture, JAK Shabab.

Time to move on and finish that piles of work to do !

It’s the event that we wait for each semester, the event that gathers all of us (CAT Foundations) and sponsors to enjoy professional technical sessions that are held in the latest leading-edge technologies in IT.

IT’S THE CAT SCOPE, and it’s the 10^th one,

It’s a great feeling to witness the series of successes we had since reloading CAT, starting from CAT-Scope 3, and on next Saturday 21 March 2009 , CAT-Scope 10 will begin and — as usual — each CAT Scope has its own flavour/theme, this scope is really different , as  it’s the first scope to be held in 4 days not 3 as we used to have for the past 7 scopes, which means more work and more fun

So, it’s the largest and the most important event for the CAT, and of course for each foundation… SO CAT-H4ck3rZ will be rocking — as usual —

We have only 2 sessions in the scope, which are:

1. “What’s cool about Python”   — Eng. Ahmed Soliman (Foundation Founder)
   Saturday, 21 March 2009  1:00PM
   
2. “An introduction to SCMP”    – Karim Allah Ahmed and Mariam Asfour (Programming Team)
   Monday, 23 March 2009 10:30AM
