EDGE EMEA 2009
It’s been announced !
EDGE EMEA 2009 Conference this year is in Amsterdam.
I attended EDGE EMEA 2007 and found it to be a great place to interact and share views, knowledge and experiences with other Gen people – vendors, other customers and CA themselves.
It is one of the highlights of the European CA-Gen calendar – make every effort to addend this conference – if you’ve been before, you know how valuable it is – if you haven’t come along and find out.
My first EDGE conference was EDGE EMEA 2007 in Ditton Park, London – my second will be EDGE EMEA 2009 in Amsterdam – it will CERTAINLY not be my last !
EDIT:Here’s a MS-Outlook Appointment for you to download and put in your Diaries !!!!

New downloads on the EDGE Website
The videos that were posted here a few days ago are now available on the downloads section of the EDGE website – www.edgeusergroup.org.
It really is worth having a look around at the downloadable resources on the site, there are many presentations from previous EDGE conferences, useful code snippets, whitepapers and tools and utilities for the Gen Developer.
The EDGE website is really the “Window on the World” for Gen developers, and one of the first places you should go to get answers, resources and information about Gen. EDGE will give you direction and assistance in every aspect of Gen – sign up and get the benefits.

EDGE Reception Videos now available !
The videos that were made of the EDGE Reception (both Real- and Second-Life versions) are now available for playing now from here – the download links are also available below:


The First-Life video is very tongue-in-cheek – it perhaps illustrates the fun that was had at the event !
The Second-Life video follows the same format although with an altogether more staid music selection !
See them to believe them.
In my opinion, the EDGE Multiverse Reception (I believe a first for CA World) was a success – even though I wasn’t at the Venetian, I felt part of the event – let’s hope there are more of these !!!!

Gen@CA World Today…
Today’s issue of CA World Today (here) has a number of Gen-related articles.
Looking forward to the presentation entitled “Garanti’s Financial Application Powered by CA Gen” at 8:30 AM in Bellini 2003-2004.
In addition, there is the box-out on page 14 reviewing the “Long Haul” – that is – an investment in Gen over many years reaps benefits!
I would certainly agree that one way of getting the benefits of Gen IS to invest for the longer term, but on the flip side, one of the initial benefits of the tooling is that Enterprise-class systems can be built quickly and with a low developer count – so – YES – you will get benefits over time, but those benefits start being realised almost immediately your organisation is up and running.
Last day tomorrow !!!!!

Never thought of it like that !
Reading today’s CA World Today – page 11 talks about CA-Gen as a “Dream Machine” – reliable inside and cutting edge outside.
I totally agree with this notion- a Corolla is the example that they give – first with us in the 1960s it is reliable and safe to purchase.
So – lets go to the tuning shop and get those spoilers on….
….which is just what has happened in Holland for Schuitema – as detailed on page 14 of the same issue – a long-established reliable in-store application rearchitected (by Jumar) for the web……
