SHARE in Seattle

Don’t forget that the next SHARE conference is coming up fast (March 14-18), and early bird discounted registration ends January 22. There are always great CICS sessions at SHARE, presented by both IBM developers and fellow sysprogs sharing their experiences. I attended SHARE in Seattle in 2006, and it is a nice setting – highly recommended if you can attend. If you can’t attend because your employer won’t let you go, be sure to check out the page on building a case to attend SHARE on the SHARE web site.

SHARE in Denver

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.
