For the last 2-3 months, the readers of my blog may have seen a small icon at the top of the pages giving you a hint that I'm presenting at WSO2Con 2011 , the technology conference of the year. A few months back, Samisa , the engineering head of WSO2, forced me to submit a talk for this conference. Hesitating, I prepared an abstract of a talk about SOA and quality and sent my proposal. After a few weeks, I was informed that my proposal had been accepted and that I would speak at the third day of the conference. First, I was shocked. Why?

We are at WSO2, while redefining the middleware space, reinventing the software development process too. We have our own way of designing, developing and testing products. Wanna know more about how we do that? then do not forget to attend the sess

Time flew in light speed and finally the days have arrived! WSO2Con 2011 , a conference which you should not miss. Though you are a seasoned IT professional or a student keen in learning latest technologies, it is the event of the year. Out of more than 25 sessions which are planned to be held, my attention goes to one particular session first. It is "Security in Practice" by Prabath Siriwardhana which will be held on 14th of September, 2011 at 3.30 PM. Why do I like it than any other session? Prabath is a brilliant speaker. I like the way he presenting. He has his own style which attract anyone in the audience. Prabath is the expert of the most complex and hard-to-understand aspect of Service Oriented Architecture, Security. You can imagine the complexity of delivering a presentation in such a tough, complicated subject matter But, Prabath has the ability to inject complex subject matters into your head in very nice manner. You should not miss this great session of Prabath
