As the "cloud" becomes a common platform, web applications still live in a "stovepipe" world. It's not a question of "should we move to the cloud?" It's a question of once some, or most, or all of our web applications live in the cloud, how do we handle the problems of scalability, security, identity, storage, integration and interoperability? What was the problem of "enterprise application integration" in the late 90s, is now the cambrian explosion of web-based applications that will demand similar levels of integration. The problem, put simply, is how to "glue" all of these apps, data, people, work-flows, and networks together. Glue is the only conference devoted solely to this new problem-set facing architects, developers and integrators. At Glue, we'll explore the new technologies that are forming around web applications in a post-cloud world. At Glue, we'll aim to explore things like: APIs & Protocols: Twitter, Facebook, Websockets, PubSubHubBub (PUSH), XMPP Languages/Frameworks: JQuery, Zend, Ruby/Rails, Git, Django, Dojo, Scala/Lift Formats/Standards: RDF/Linked Data, JSON, Microformats, HTML5 Open Data: DBPedia, Geonames, Data.gov, AWS Public Data Sets, Open Street Map, Open Calais, Alchemy API Platforms/Providers: Amazon, Rackspace, Goog App Engine, Heroku, Eucalyptus Storage: SQL vs. NoSQL (Cassandra, CouchDB, MongoDB, Riak, Voldemort, Dynomite, Sherpa, Pig, Hadoop, Drizzle, etc) Glue will be held entirely at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, CO. *Cancellation Policy* All tickets are refundable up until March 23, 2012 at 5 p.m. EST.
