Yesterday, I attended third barcamp in delhi. I presented a session “Deploying rails application in EC2″. It was an amazing experience. We talked about EC2 and I had given a demo “How to deploy rails application on EC2″.

I personally didn’t like some sessions. There were people from some company and after every 2 mins they were saying “we are the best”. I think this should not happen in barcamp. As far as I know about barcamp, it is for sharing your experiences, talking about new technology, but not for promoting your company.

I think that, at BarCamp there should be sessions on new things, not on the things that are popular and have similar other services.

There was a very good session by Jinesh Varia on Amazon Cloud Computing. He included Amazon’s simple storage system, and Amazon’s cloud computing(Ec2) in his presentation. He also helped me in answering people while the demo. He gave me a hint that very soon there will a news from Amazon that will surprise us.

I have uploaded my presentation slides on Slideshare.net:

Yesterday I was at Barcampdelhi2 sponsored by Opera and supported by Impetus tech. It was my first barcamp ever and it was excellent, great sessions by great people. There were 2 or 3 sessions about web standards and they forced me to think  about web standards. I never take care of them, do you…?
Anyways Thanks to Opera for T-Shirts, Pen, Ball, Lunch and Beer.

barcamp.gifI will be at BarCamp this Saturday, 9th Dec. Most probably I will be presenting something related to ROR. If you’re going to attend BarCampDelhi-2, I hope that you’ll come out and hear me speak there. This will be my first public presentation ever. If you wanna attend/present at BarCamp please add yourself in the campers list(here) so the planners can arrange the space.
