Events hosted by SRT Solutions
SRT Solutions is running a number of events next week, which may be of interest to those in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area.
First, there is a Software Stimulus lab on Monday, June 15. This features two distinct sessions: the morning session introduces effective software engineering techniques, such as version control, continuous integration, and automated testing, and the afternoon session focuses on topics of interest to attendees. You can register at https://srtstimulus.eventbrite.com/.
Secondly, they are offering executive briefings on emerging technologies. These high-level briefings are designed to help business owners and CEOs understand critical emerging technologies along with their potential impact and benefits. They will focus on “WHY” you might adopt a new technology, rather than "HOW" to implement it. The events will be held at Ann Arbor SPARK. On June 16, the topics are Cloud Computing and Rich Internet Applications. On June 18, the topics are Natural User Interfaces and Social Networking in Business. The sessions run from 8:30am-noon and the cost is $150 (continental breakfast included). You can register using the links below.
