“Ziff-Davis today announced that ZD Events has partnered with
industry powerhouses to enhance this year’s COMDEX/Spring and
WINDOWS WORLD conference. Focused elements will explore three
challenging decision areas for IT buyers: platforms, e-commerce and
networking. The event will also contain dedicated programs for
CIOs, resellers and developers. COMDEX/Spring and WINDOWS WORLD ’99
takes place April 19-22, 1999, at McCormick Place in Chicago.”

“Deciding which platforms to adopt is one of the most pivotal
decisions developers now face. Realizing this, ZD Events has
partnered with three major platform leaders to examine Java, Linux
and Windows in detail. Produced in cooperation with Sun
Microsystems, “Java University” is a two-day program on Sunday and
Monday that delivers skill-oriented developer training designed by
expert Java engineers.”

“…the “Linux Global Summit,” produced in cooperation with
Linux International and sponsored by Linux Hardware Solutions and
Caldera, will explore the business potential of the Linux OS and
features a keynote presentation by Linus Torvalds, founder of the
Linux OS.”
