Look out - I'm back, and I've got lots of exciting updates about eBay Developers Conference 2008.
First off - don't miss out on your last chance to save $245 by registering for DevCon by April 30th. Register now so you can relax and make plans to enjoy all Chicago has to offer.
Next, thanks to all of you who were behind the record number of Star Developer Award nominations this year that were due by Friday, April 11th. We were flooded with both nominations and customer testimonials telling us about their favorite eBay tools. eBay, PayPal, Skype, Shopping.com -- I was completely energized by all the activity. We were struggling to keep up! Stay tuned about the winners and runner-ups from each category.
Due to popular demand, we are adding a Day One, hands-on eBay Web Services B.Y.O.L. Code Lab on Monday afternoon, June 16th. If you want to roll up your sleeves and get neck deep in code, this is the session for you. This two hour Code Lab will be a deep dive into our Shopping Web Services, Trading Web Services and Client Alerts. Bring your own laptop, and eBay engineers will help guide you through the detailed steps needed to create three demo applications from scratch. And because you are using your own set-up, you can bookmark all the key information you need to be able to recreate the steps when you get back home.
Now let's talk fun. Fun is staying in downtown Chicago during the conference, so you can enjoy all that this great city has to offer. We're offering a free shuttle over to the McCormick Place West Convention Center throughout DevCon, from the Hyatt Regency Chicago. You don't need to stay at the Hyatt Regency Chicago to take advantage of the DevCon Shuttle, so check out the Shuttle information and nearby hotels on the Hotels/Shuttle page of our DevCon website.
Fun is also joining our eBay Developers Conference 2008 Facebook Event, so you can connect with familiar faces and arrange to meet in Chicago. Check out some of the event photos, videos and links people are sharing, including information about upcoming sessions from the speakers who are giving the talks.
I think that's enough for now. Check back in a couple of weeks for our next DevCon update. Get ready for Chicago!
