The things you can learn at Glue

I've been working on an agenda update, and in doing so, I found myself re-discovering all of the things that I can learn about a Glue. Here's a partial list:

How Facebook is opening up their platformWhy REST is the foundation for web oriented architectureWhere identity is heading, and why it has to NOT be about identityWhat SAML isHow OpenID and OAuth are changing the way you build out services on the webWhere I can implement data portabilityHow I can begin thinking about integration in a post-cloud worldHow I can secure cloud infrastructureWhy I should be thinking about web apps in terms of complex event processingHow I can build a perimeter-less organization using Microsoft's Geneva betaHow I can do the same thing using open source toolsWhat the role of XMPP is when you're building out web appsWhy I need to think about relational databases and the cloudWhat I can use to glue together data across apps and networksWhat "webhooks" are and why that mattersHow to manage and leverage my APIHow to build a "context aware" serviceWhy I'd want to use edge-side includesHow I can use XRDSWhere I can go to start "gluing together" devices with my dataWhy I should alter my big picture thinking about innovation

And that's just a start. Now, is it just me, or...wow? Don't just sit there, come DO SOMETHING.
