Waterfall 2006 -- the year's hottest software development show
Mar. 29, 2006

Perhaps the most important software development show of 2006 will be held on April 1st in Niagara Falls, NY.

Waterfall 2006 will feature such keynote speeches as "Put Testing Where It Belongs -- At the End," "Dead Fish Can't Swim But They Can Float Down a Waterfall;" and "Extreme Programming Uninstalled."

There will also be informative tutorials such as "Pair Managing: Two Managers per Programmer," "User Interaction: It Was Hard to Build, It Should Be Hard to Use," and "Ruby On Snails: Slow Down Development With This New Framework."

In addition, the show will have such outstanding workshops as "The Impact of Paper Bond Weight on Design Quality" and "Semantics: Teaching Your Users What They Really Need."

Last, but not least, there will be white papers that will delight and amaze developers on topics like "Crossword Puzzles as Requirements Documents: Make them Work for It." "Management Patterns Gleaned from Government Oversight Programs: 70 Years of Experience in Effective Paragraph Numbering Schemes," and "Business Sponsor Visibility via Gantt and PERT Charts."

It is this kind of cutting edge development thinking that has made COBOL, PL/1, and SNOBOL developers the most in demand programmers of the day.

Sources close to the conference have also said that there may be additional speakers on such hot topics as: "Security: The Microsoft Way," "GPL 4: the EULA," and "Closed Source, Closed Mind Means Focused Development."

Truly, this April 1st we'll see a show that no developer can afford to miss!
