The Wave: Get the inside view from Lars Rasmussen E-mail

A wave of enthusiasm, mild awe and wonder, not least from iTWire’s own, has swept the world with the launch of Google’s Australian-developed application Wave, and we’ll soon hear about its development, right here in Australia, from one of the developers who has made it all happen.

Sydney resident, Lars Rasmussen, one half of the brotherly duo who developed Google’s new online communication and collaboration tool over two years in Sydney, is going to be giving an insight into the development of Wave at a series of lectures in Australia, starting in Brisbane at the end of this month.

Rasmussen, who with his brother Jens, created not only Google Wave, but also Google Maps, will deliver the 2009 Innovation lecture for the University of Sydney’s Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering.

Google Wave, launched just last week at Google’s I/O Developer Conference, has well and truly grabbed the attention of the IT industry worldwide, and as iTWire’s own David M Williams writes today: “only rarely does a new technology emerge which is so sensible, so simple and so wonderful that you can't imagine how it never existed before. Google Wave is one such thing and it's the biggest thing to hit the Internet since the Web itself. “

The dates for Lars Rasmussen’s Innovation Lectures, all starting at 5.45pm, are:

30 June 2009 Brisbane – Customs House
2  July 2009 Sydney – Powerhouse Museum
8  July 2009 Melbourne – Ernst and Young
9  July 2009 Adelaide – Ernst and Young

For more information, and to see just how well Ramsmussen surfs the wave we'll all soon be able to splash around in, head on over to the Warren Centre's "Innovation Lecture 2009" website where you'll find all the details!
