Presented by the Developers Forum
This event is sold out. We will not be accepting walk-in registrations.
No matter how you cut through hype around Cloud Computing just about everybody agrees this will evolve in to the next great platform war. With so many choices it is difficult for many to decide where to begin.
This year's event is focused on that evolution: what's real, what's running, and how are cloud technologies being leveraged today for actual product development and delivery. Expect to see real coding examples and walkthroughs and hear actual results from implemented and delivered solutions.
Join with us for a collaborative best practice exchange aimed specifically at the top things developers and architects need to know when on cloud computing platforms. This is your chance to ask the hard technical questions.
Space is limited and last year's event sold out so register now!
