In the months leading up to the 2010 SXSW Interactive Festival, we'd like to take the opportunity to shine a spotlight on one of the elements that make the event so valuable: the amazing speakers drawn to Austin every March. This week's focus is Web Services Evangelist Jinesh Varia, whose session "Migrating to Cloud Architectures and Its Best Practices" was part of the November 8 programming announcement.

Variaa has over 11 years experience in XML and Web services, making this a panel you won't want to miss. As a technology evangelist, Varia helps developers take advantage of technologies, like cloud computing, that are sure to change the way we think about computer applications, and the way businesses compete in the new web world.

Come learn some tips and tricks at this panel, where Varia will outline the benefits of building highly scalable and available architectures in the cloud. Be sure to check out our list of confirmed programming for the 2010 SXSW Interactive Festival so you can begin to plan your week accordingly.
