Some of the featured talks this year.. (with a few more to come)

Cloudless Home Automation in a Cloudy World
Gaslighting: Manipulating Reality

Website creation that fast, beautiful, simple and .. secure??

Come hear Dennis Stepp’s talk: “Let’s Get JAMming: An introduction to static site generators”.  “In under an hour you can build your blog, project documentation, or even a very basic eCommerce site. ”  The talk will be accompanied by several demonstrations. Even if you don’t make sites yourself, the next time you get that dreaded “You know about computers! – How should I build a website?”  Then you will know. (.. and knowing is half the battle 😉 )
