Scottish Web Events

February 25th, 2007

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

After years of not much happening, there’s been a sudden surge of Web Development related events happening around Scotland.

The only proper web conference Edinburgh has had in the past was WWW2006, but the cost was stupidly prohibitive (£750 a person!) so I didn’t bother attending.

Now, over the next couple of months, there are at least 3 major events on my calender:

March 3rd - BarCamp
I’m still holding out for an invite to this year’s Foo Camp, but the “anyone’s welcome” un-conference of Bar Camp will be a good start.

April 5th - The Highland Fling
The Highland Fling is all about “Progressive enhancement” and has lots of big name speakers over the course of one day.

April 6th - Refresh Edinburgh
Refresh is about “refreshing all aspects of new media endeavours in and around Edinburgh”. There’s plans to hold an event the day after the Highland Fling where Scotland’s developers and designers can get together and get drunk.

Myself and Alex are planning on doing a short presentation about the technical underpinnings of Google Sightseeing at Refresh, so if you are near Edinburgh please come along and heckle us.

    And weren’t they all a blast?! We need to keep up the momentum, there’s so much going on in the Scottish web scene and we can learn so much from each other. Or you can steal my best ideas down the pub. ;-)
