I wil be attending the
2009 Portal Conference in San Diego this week.

I will be speaking on a number of topics including a talk around my book, "Application Architecture for WebSphere". I am not giving a talk on my latest book, "Web 2.0 and Social Networking". Unfortunally the timing of that release and this conference did not work out so well.

thanks for attending.

Welcome to this first entry of my new blog. I am planning on switching over from my developerWorks blog Portal in Action in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Ok, it's official. I am going to start blogging again and using this as my primary communication vehicle. I have not been blogging for awhile as I focused more on books, but having finished this recent one, I have some time to catch up on some thoughts.
