Windows 7 Public Beta Soon
There have been several reports that indicate that a public beta of Windows 7 would be available in early January. What’s more, according to several sources (ZDNet’s Ed Bott, Internet News.com Andy Patrizio and last week WinInfo’s Paul Thurrott) Windows 7 will ship this summer (a June 2009 shipping date is being mentioned) – way earlier than Microsoft has (so far) indicated.
Some people are thinking that a June 2009 ship date is not likely. This is roughly 31 months after Vista went RTM (Release To Manufacturing). I’ll just point out that Microsoft shipped Windows XP only 20 months after Windows 2000, so a 31 month development cycle for Windows 7 would certainly be a possibility. Most people will remember the painful Windows Vista development cycle, which took 63 months from the day Windows XP went RTM to its own RTM. Microsoft is determined not to let that happen again.
One should also keep in mind that the changes from Windows Vista to Windows 7 are comparable to the changes Microsoft made when it went from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, so although the beta cycle for Windows 7 looks to be very short, it looks plausible.

Hi all,
I am working for a software integrator company. My projects includes working on Java and Ruby on Rails and Ajax. I think Web Services is really cool. We also recently have to now work on REST and they are talking about mashups and Struts. Can anyone tell me if there are some good training or conferences so that me and my team members can get to speed with these technologies. Learning from books is not my cup of tea, even not when I was doing engineering
All the help that group members can provide in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vaibhavi

Hi Vaibhavi,
There are several online resources available that you just google for. If any of your team like to read then quality books from wiley and oreilly cover such technologies in detail.
I also highly recommend you could attend the upcoming Great Indian Developer Summit (developersummit[dot]com) that is covering Java, Agile, REST, JAX-RS, mashups, .NET, Rich Web, JPA, SOA, rich user experiences, Spring, Groovy and more. They have most of the creators of these technologies as speakers. My team is attending this summit 22-25 apr at IISc campus where we are attending the web conference on April 23 and java on April 24. We have been able to get very good discounts. Maybe all those who are interested from your group can sign up together and get a good bargain from them. what say? I also attended last year’s conference and had a really cool time.
In Hyderabad there is Sun Tech Days with some sun speakers.
Thanks,
Anaz
