It's hard to believe that was called "summer" and that we're in the *bers of 2009 already, and it's even harder to believe how similar legal and contract writing is to programming. But let's face - you're either programming a computer system, or programming a legal system. This September, we're looking forward to a one-of-a-kind talk, and pleased to have Charles B. Kramer, Esq. speak on the fundamentals of licenses and intellectual property (IP) of the software world and how, in fact, legalese is just another form of programming. A software license is like source code -- it should contain consistent definitions, processes that branch upon "if/then" conditions, and predictable consequences when one or another event triggers termination. Once you learn what the "code" of a well structured license looks like, you'll be able to distinguish between a license that is confusing because it's difficult, and one that's confusing because it's just poorly drafted.

Open Hack Day, we're pleased to have a special presentation from YDN Senior Developer, Tom Hughes-Croucher. NOTE: RSVP is not required but please arrive early to reserve a seat. Why is mobile different to desktop? When it comes to data there are lots of difference such as processing and most importantly data transmission. Our goal as developers should always be to make the fastest apps possible, however mobile adds a lot of constraints to the platforms we are used to developing for on the desktop. This talk will focus how you can avoid the problems that network latency creates by being smart with your server implementation. Tom Hughes-Croucher is an Evangelist and Senior Developer in Yahoo's Open Strategy Group, focusing on Yahoos Web Services and Cloud Platform. Tom has contributed to a number of Web standards for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the British Standards Institute (BSI). Previously he helped build the online music stores for some of the UK's largest brands including Tesco, Three Telecom and Channel 4.
