SHARE in Denver is quickly approaching (August 23-28). If you plan to attand and have not made your arrangements, now is the time to start planning! The SHARE Denver Update PDF file contains updates and tips for justifying the trip. The focus this time around is on virtualization and SOA, but there are always plenty of other current and legacy topics of those don’t fit in with what you are working on. The gang behind the CICS Project, as always, has a great slate of presentations planned. Also, the 40th anniversary of CICS will be celebrated. The SHARE conference is a great way for an experienced mainframer to spend educational dollars and be assured of getting ample return on the investment.
