I’m surprised and delighted to announce that I will be one of the speakers at the rather excellent FOWA Tour even in Leeds on 28th May (two weeks today!). The day is like a roadshow version of the famous FOWA conferences, with a morning of (free!) cloud workshops and an afternoon of excellent speakers. I had been hoping to attend this event anyway so to get the invite to speak is very exciting indeed!

My talk is entitled “Architecting Web Services” and will take a look at the types of service available, and identifying functions which would be useful as a service. I’ll run through how decisions about service and format can be taken and we’ll look at some examples of these while we’re at it. I’ve been building a few services lately for one thing and another and I’m pretty excited about the whole topic! Luckily I only have a half-hour on stage but rest assured I’ll probably still be talking about it over drinks later in the day!

Anyone going? Thinking of going? Let me know and make sure to come and say hi on the day :)
