Speaker: Catherine Block Daves is currently working as a software engineer developing business intelligence applications at Actuate Corporation.

Catherine discovered the joy of programming in the late 90’s while working in interactive advertising (Red Sky Interactive). During the bust, she found herself with a great deal of free time and decided to follow her newfound love. She attended San Jose State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in May 2005, graduating Summa Cum Laude and with honors in her major. Immediately after graduation she started work at Actuate Corporation where she has spent the last year learning the intricacies of JavaScript and DOM while working on an AJAX enterprise application.
