The Developer Conference Winter ’16/’17 and Spring ’17 Season is Over – now watch the videos
Each year, there are number of “really” important developer conferences that take place. These capture the hearts and minds of millions of developers. Most of these developer conferences happen near the end of the previous year and continue until the end of the school year in most of the northern hemisphere. These conferences capture the minds and hearts of millions of developers who build desktop, server, device, cloud, service and IoT applications. There are many other developer conferences that take place each month throughout the year, but the ones that I list below definitely have large audiences and huge impact on developers. Now that the developer conference “Winter’16 / Spring’17 season” is over, its time to get up to speed by watching the replay videos of the keynotes and sessions.
Developer Conferences and Video Replays
Here are several “notable” developer conferences that have taken place during the past seven months or so. I’ve included the dates, locations and links to the replay videos. If you add up all of the sessions and videos you have more than one thousand sessions and more than ten thousand hours of technical learning. It’s time to get caught up and moving forward to the future, infinity and beyond.
