Sesssion Proposal for Dev Connections 2014

[Erez]

Hey Guys,

I am about to submit a proposal for a session that I'd like to give at this year's Dev Connections in September. I wanted to get some feedback before I sent it off. Below is the abstract and a few title ideas. I'm looking for feedback from you guys on both the topic and the titles. All feedback (even negative) is much appreciated.

Abstract

Task automation is an unspoken hero in almost every IT department, yet very few people acknowledge its importance. In this talk, we’ll show how task automation can carry an application on its back. We’ll reflect over some of the reasons why it’s not talked about in the developer community and dive into some of the architectural challenges that exist in the realm of task automation. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the up and coming solutions to some of these challenges and see where there’s still room for advancement.

Title Ideas

Bringing Sexy Back to Task Automation

Back to the Future – Task Automation

Task Automation: The Next Generation

Thanks,

Erez

The abstract sounds good to me. For the titles go with one of the first two. They sound like more fun.

Can we get a preview of the talk ? :)

Good luck boss.

I think you need to add something about how your session will help the attendee. What's the benefit for them attending? Also, what is Task Automation? Does the attendee even know what that is? Can you talk about task automation without saying task automation? 

Maybe something like "Make Your Life Better With Automation" or "Automate Your Way To A Free Weekend."

Check out these posts. They will help improve your abstract:
