Short Talks & Briefings

When time allows, our staff make themselves available to deliver short talks and briefings on topics in which they have particular expertise. Currently active talks include:

• Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing
• Linux — A Commercial and Technical Overview
• E-Commerce Business Briefing
• Building Data-driven Web Sites
• Perl — A Brief Introduction

Other topics include:

• Desktop Strategies in a Multi-platform Environment
• Open Source Software in the Public and Voluntary Sectors
• From Windows 2000/NT to Linux — Integration, Migration and Coexistence
• Electronic Business and Data Interchange With XML
• Cascading Styles Sheets — A Solution to Proprietary Incompatibility?

The talks, typically, last between 30 mins and 1 hour. Their main audience usually consists of IT user groups, for example:

• BCS branches
• Trade Associations and Exhibitions
• Chambers of Commerce
• E-Commerce and New Media networking groups
• Institutes of Directors
• Linux and Unix user groups
• Economic Development Bodies
• Educational Bodies
• Client groups of hardware and software distributors
• Central and Local Government

As a rule, we ask those who can afford it to pay commercial rates, or at least reasonable expenses, for these talks. Where possible, we try to cross-subsidise `good causes' by tying the talk in with visits to fee-paying customers in the vicinity.
