DevNet 2007 - Summary

December 2nd, 2006
.

The highlight of the conference was meeting people in the development sector, and the conversations we had. Robert Chamber’s Workshop presented some really interesting ideas, which flavoured the conference, and stimulated some interesting thoughts for me. Being in a conference environment, surrounded by academic types, absorbing new information, really inspired me to do more study – but there’s still heaps of work to do first!
