Summaries:

Developing for LSB 4.0 Using AppChecker
The latest version of the Linux Standard Base comes with a powerful new tool to analyze code and determine how well it complies with the LSB. But AppChecker is useful beyond the LSB, too. Find out how this new component of the LSB toolset can make your applications more portable than ever.

High-Level Languages for Linux: Mono & Real Basic, AIR
This session will feature some modern, high-level languages that can deliver on the promise of cross-platform portability beyond the standard open source choices of Perl, Python, and Java.  Learn about how these tools can be a better fit for different types of business and web applications.

Developing For Linux Appliances
Linux' superior security and customization makes it a perfect OS for the latest IT solution: appliance-based computing. These dedicated, turn-key devices using Linux are a great fit for IT needs. Learn how to develop apps for appliances, and discover the great tools out there to help with appliance development.

Examining Packaging Methodologies
You've built your app, you've made it portable, now how do you get it out to your users? There's native solutions like RPM or DEB packaging, source-based systems like Portage, or third-party tools like InstallEverywhere... which to use? Delve into Linux packaging strategies and find out it's not just a pretty bow.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned Developing Linux Products
The coolest thing about Linux development is that someone's likely to have been there before you, and because it's such a vibrant community, they'll likely share experiences with you.  Meet developers from some leading companies who have developed products for the Linux platform, and get the inside scoop on lessons they've learned from their experiences.
