I am also attending IAMLUG

Like Ed Brill… I am also going to the IAMLUG conference in St Louis.

My employer said I could only attend one of the two Midwest events so I picked the one where I get to stay overnight at a casino. Travel is the same for me too… two round-trip train tickets were the same price as a round-trip flight to St Louis.

I would like to meet with other corporate developers like me. Maybe I’d call it a “support group” for corporate RAD developers. Those of us who are supporting hundreds of applications and are still developing tools for business. Possible points of discussion include…

• Are you using any project methodology?
• Has your workload increased due to the economy? (mine certainly has)
• Is your group still treated like a red-headed step-child? (I won’t comment on this one until IAM LUG)
• How are you dealing with compliance issues?

If you are interested in getting together at IAMLUG please email me at tjoneil @ codepress.net.

Overall… I am excited to head down to St Louis. I have not been on a business trip since Lotusphere 2008 (and that was with the family). It’s great to hear Ed will be attending and I look forward to seeing everyone down there!
