You have to pick the best software programme for your site, the best server and a design that will please users. To help entrepreneurs find their way, First Tuesday, the networking group that helps match entrepreneurs and investors, has organised a technology teach-in to discuss topics ranging from managing technology development to wireless data, xml, a protocol language for web development, and other new technologies. Entrepreneurs will be able to pick the brains of some of the most successful net pioneers.
Entrepreneurs can expect a sales pitch as the event's sponsors are there in force.
Round-table discussions will take place with executives from companies that build most of the web in the first place, Sun, Oracle, Cisco and others. For these companies, it will be a chance to sing the praises of their own systems. The afternoon technology teach-in will be limited to 500 people with preference for entrepreneurs. The evening reverts to First Tuesday's traditional networking format, which has become so popular as to become positively unwieldy. To make it more manageable, the networking event at Fabric, a trendy nightclub in Smithfields, will be divided into three areas so people can meet those who are at the same stage with their ventures as well as those firms that can help them.
