A big THANK YOU to Ryan Stille, leader of the Nebraska Cold Fusion User Group for putting this together!
Tis the season for holiday celebrations, so why don’t we have one too?
This coming Tuesday (Yeah, I know its short notice) there are three Technology meetings happening: OJUG, Dynamic Language Users Group, and a UNO Class doing Lightning Talks open to the public. With all of this great stuff happening, we here at TechOmaha thought it would be great to get everyone out for a little holiday spirit after the meetings.
And thanks to some great sponsors; BrightMix, Exigence, and NimbleLogic, everyone can have a drink on us!
This coming Tuesday, December 9th, is looking to be a smorgasbord of cool tech things happening here in Omaha!
And, since so many Techies are going to be out and about, we are going to have a TechOmaha Holiday Bash! More info coming on this VERY soon!
First up, we have:
The Fall 2008 UNO CSCI 2850 (Programming on the Internet) class invites you to an evening of lightning talks on Perl programming, the Firefox web browser and other (mostly) web-related topics.
Lightning Talks are no longer than 5 minutes and can be about anything: a new idea, an evaluation, an observation, a story, a complaint, an explanation, a suggestion, a report of success or failure, a call to action, a description of a technique, technology, or a lament.
Usually we split the talks over two nights, but this semester it’s going to be one, big solid night of talks.
Where: Peter Kiewit Institute, Room 252 ( http://tinyurl.com/5g83cb ) When: Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 Time: 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM
You can see a list of all the talks here.
This month Paul Heaberlin is talking about Java Content Repositories
like Apache Jackrabbit and the like. I’m looking forward to it as JCRs

It should be good.

and last but not least:
Security Testing In Your Applications – Daniel Carnes
As developers, we are all concerned with security in our applications. More often than not it is tacked on to the product lifecycle like some sort of Frankenstein. Daniel thinks this is simply unacceptable and it should be one of the first things to be setup in building your application. Let’s face it. Security is easy to get wrong. Daniel is going to show us how to setup our environments early and to make sure our applications stay safe. This will be one not to be missed!
Meeting location is UNO’s Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) building
