# MeshU Schedule

The mesh guys have finalized the [MeshU schedule](http://www.meshconference.com/meshu/) with a great line-up for startups, and anyone building for the web.  MeshU is a one-day seminar, separate from the Mesh Conference, that focuses on web startups.   The day features 12 workshops and 3 streams ( design, development, management ).

I think the series highlights for me are probably [Jon Lax, from Teehan+Lax](http://www.teehanlax.com/), on getting through the design process.  I’ve gone through several site re-designs both a refresh and previously at Autotrader.  Its a difficult process, or atleast it should be get good results.

The [Oauth session with Leah Culver](http://www.meshconference.com/meshu/leah-culver.php) looks pretty interesting too.  I’ve been following Oauth for awhile and how it relates to Identity.  I’d be interested to see how easy it is to implement, especially compared with [SlashID integration](http://slashid.com) on [refreshclassifieds.com](http://refreshclassifieds.com).

It looks like most of the talks are family platform agnostic but alot of the speakers do develop with PHP and Rails.  Both are great platforms for startups and I think most of the knowledge learned could be applied to .NET platforms as well.  Microsoft also has some free packages for early stage startups to use .NET.
