DeveloperWorks is a global IBM technical developer event that shares leading edge technologies, skills and resources that enable developers to drive cutting-edge Internet based business solutions and Web services. The event was hosted in Dubai by IBM and its partner Gulf Business Machines (GBM).
"This is an important event for us in the Middle East as it is the first time that we've been able to bring the IBM Web Services team to engage directly with developers in our region and we're delighted with the strong attendance and active participation of so many developers," said Bashar Kilani, software group manager for IBM Middle East, Egypt and Pakistan. "It's been a great event and we'll be following up with more developer focused events in the region as a result."
Delegates at the all-day briefing event each received packs of web services applications and source code as well as Linux based software and toolkits to support the deployment of a range of advanced Internet-based solutions, as well as comprehensive briefings on Internet services development, security and deploying open standard software for business on the Internet.
"IBM is investing to build awareness and capabilities in the Middle East's developer community so that businesses can drive competitive advantage using online technologies. This event is part of an ongoing drive to bring IBM's global software and content development expertise to the region," said Mohammed Kara, marketing manager, software group, IBM Middle East.
