Contact TorCamp aka BarCampToronto for event and ticket information.
Monday, October 29, 2007 from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (ET)
DemoCamp is a variation of the un-conference style of event, started by the TorCamp group as an excuse to have more regular meetings where community members share what they've been working on, demo their products, meet others (and share a drink or 3).
Though conceived in Toronto, this style of get-together would work well anywhere. Why not start one in your city?
Schedule
Demos
Pete Forde, Unspace Interactive, Jester
Jester
is a JavaScript implementation of REST, modeled after Ruby on Rails’
ActiveResource. You can use it to read, create, and save your
application’s data in your browser-side code. Considering recent
advances with cross-domain JSON requests, Jester is positioned to be
the glue to developing a new class of client-side database driven
websites.
Radu Negulescu, Aceora Software
Java
ME productization issues using a currency exchange calculator that
downloads exchange rates. Appreciation of the 20-some issues that need
to be solved to bring even the simplest mobile phone software to the
market: installation using jad, configuration without config files,
user authorization requirements, conversion of keys to digits, Java ME
vs .NET tradeoff, etc. See Radu's demo and hear what he has learned in
the process.
Liang Song, OMESH Networks
The
demo shows a prototype of opportunistic wireless mesh networks, which
shows 1) the drop-and-play of mesh stations that can vastly save
network planning/deployment costs; 2) better performance to support
voice and video services.
Shachin Ghelanil, Ogrant, Social Media for Financial Aid
Shachin
will be showing Ogrant's new interactive online grant service. Ogrant
allows students to apply for school grants and scholarships using
videos and images instead of essays, transcripts and reference letters.
Essentially, a student interactive application can be reivewed and
voted on by peers and ranked based on creativity, talent and
intellectual ability. Shachin will share what they learned while
developing a platform to transform an outdated industry (financial aid)
and how their plans evolved as their development progressed.
Will Pate, Conceptshare
A
sneak preview of ConceptShare version 2. The entire web management
interface has been re-engineered from the ground up introducing a
simple, clean UI. This will be Conceptshare's second appearance at DemoCamp and it will be great to see how far they have come since last year.
