XMPP – The universal messaging protocol

XMPP is a more than 10-year old veteran among Internet protocols, but continues to continually develop under the aegis of the XMPP Standards Foundation. It is primarily used for chats (Google Talk) and messaging. However, most people are more familiar with it when it goes under the name of Jabber.

TechTalk’s target group includes all software developers who are interested in tools and the future of software development.

The event is held at Deutsche Telekom AG, Products & Innovation in Darmstadt. Interested colleagues and external guests can register with a formless e-mail with their name/company to techtalk@remove-this.developergarden.com by June 29, 2011 at the latest. The event begins at 6 pm and ends at around 8 pm. Attendance is free and drinks and snacks are provided as always.

Those unable to travel to Darmstadt can follow the TechTalk live stream at: http://ustream.tv/channel/telekom-techtalk.

ABOUT TECHTALK

With the TechTalk format, the Developer Garden – Telekom's developers' platform – offers a discussion forum for developer topics and trends in technology. The events begin with presentations and demonstrations from experts. The floor is then opened for questions and discussions. Afterwards, you can meet the speakers and other participants at the buffet, exchanging ideas and making new contacts.

TechTalks are currently taking place in Berlin and Darmstadt. And if you can't make it in person, you can follow the presentations as a live stream and participate in the online chat. We also post videos of the events on our YouTube channel afterwards.
