This in an example from QCon London: Microphone I stumbled over the Samson Stage XPD1 Presentation which is a really great product. Positioning of the camera is typically a bit tricky, but a chair in the front row, a spare flip-chart, an unused microphone stand or whatever you can find might do a good job. Comment below or send me an email.

Last week I attended a software development conference, QCon in New York. At QCon New York, they had paid attention to a lot of the small details. Here are my impressions of it, as well as some thoughts on programming conferences in general. For me, there are several reasons to attend developer conferences. Details, Details.

Informing the user is of prime importance which Flickr does as part of the synchronous request/response processing, while the other notifications are processed by job queues running in parallel.

Organized by InfoQ , QCon is an excellent conference to attend if you want to hear from leading innovators in the software industry on how to adopt new trends and technologies. QCon stresses that these events are by and for practitioners — i.e., tech professionals who are in a position to foster innovation on their teams.
