Past Events
INTERNET ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS led by Joe Andrieu. "In
the second of a four part series, the group will explore how Business Requirements fit
into the planning for a successful Internet project. How does one identify and document
the needs and success criteria as they relate to the business functions of the company?
Marketing, financial, fulfillment, customer support, legal, etc., all of these must be
addressed for a fully defined Internet initiative. Uniquely separate from Technology and
Design requirements, Business Requirements ensure that the project, once built, will in
fact serve the company and improve the bottom line.
MAKING EFFECTIVE SALES led by Dennis Wojnar
JAVA SERVLETS DEMO led by James Pitts. James writes:
"Yes, Java can do more than annoy us with choppy animations and endless coffee
analogies. Server-side Java applets have been around for a while, but Servlets are now a
standard part of Sun's Java. You can hook them up to databases and make cool web apps such
as a bulletin board. We will look at some Servlets in action and discuss whether this is
an effective way to make dynamic web sites without causing the developer to lose too much
sleep."
EMAIL EMPOWERMENT led by Eric
Gersh. Strategies and techniques for making email your servant.
COOL MP3 STUFF led by Carl de Cordova. Carl will demo Rio's MP3 Player &
play some cool music.
