Developer Conferences for the Summer?

modi123 asks: "It's getting close to the middle of the year and I am looking for a developer conference or two, so that I can fill my educational quota. TechEd in Orlando is out (I was the last yell 'not it' and I have to remain behind to man the system), my boss won't allow me to travel to TechEd Euro in Barcelona, and I am at a loss on where to go. My areas of expertise are VB.NET, MSSQL, and application development, while I dabble in AI, info sec, and GUI development. Do you have any suggestions where I can go? Side note, I keep hearing about this 'defcon' thing — would that benefit an app developer, or is that mainly an overblown info sec experience?"

The trolls must be asleep tonight. Well, FP and all that....

You might check out the Apple World-Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). It's in June this year, IIRC. They're doing some sessions on web content this year, and you might enjoy learning about other plaforms while you're at it..
