For those of you who live in the Trenton, NJ area an annual landmark event is just around the corner. Yes, the Trenton Computer Festival is set to occur Friday, April 25th through Sunday, April 27th.
The Trenton Computer Festival (TCF) was created, in 1976, by Sol Libes, of the Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey and Allen Katz, of The College of New Jersey (then Trenton State College) as an annual educational event with speakers, forums, and user group meetings, an exhibitor area and an outdoor flea market. It still remains one of the longest-running computer hobbyist events anywhere.
Past speakers have included John Mauchly who invented the ENIAC, Adam Osborne who invented the first portable computer, Bill Gates (not sure what he does), Bjarne Stroustrup the inventor of C++, Phil Zimmerman creator of PGP encryption, Brian Kernigan (co-author with Dennis Ritchie of the famous "white book" on C).
This year David Perry of Trend Micro will speak about Identity Theft. They must be desperate for speakers, since I will be speaking about Data Governance on Friday. I guess Bill Gates had a conflict so they settled for me.
