I was invited to attend as an &lt;A class="" title=IASA href="http://unitedkingdom.iasahome.org/" mce_href="http://unitedkingdom.iasahome.org"&gt;IASA&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;sponsor last year and was amazed at the quality of the speakers and people who were there. This is a must visit conference to get a broad view right across the stack including .NET, Java, Ruby, Agile, Architecture - you name it it's there!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm still working on the details of the .NET track but it wont be the same theme as what is printed up there now that's for sure.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2620130" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/archive/tags/Events/default.aspx">Events</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/archive/tags/Conferences/default.aspx">Conferences</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/archive/tags/IASA/default.aspx">IASA</category></item><item><title>SOA is rubbish!</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/archive/2007/07/01/soa-is-rubbish.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2007 22:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1415997</guid><dc:creator>Matt Deacon</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/comments/1415997.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.technet.com/matt_deacon/commentrss.aspx?PostID=1415997</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;SOA is rubbish according to &lt;A class="" title="Steve Craggs" href="http://www.icmembers.org/blog/lustratus" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.icmembers.org/blog/lustratus"&gt;Steve Craggs&lt;/A&gt; (ex worldwide executive for IBM’s MQSeries business) who suggests that the fault is not actually with SOA itself but more with the way it is implemented!&lt;/P&gt;
