Julian, Mark, Mehul, Gary and I will all board planes tomorrow, from completely different starting points, and converge on Bangalore for the 4th annual Great Indian Developer Summit.
“The Biggest, Independent, Polyglot Conference”
GIDS is a huge independent software developer conference, designed to satisfy the extensive workforce of professional IT workers in India.
Attracting an audience of over 3000 professionals over the 4-day event, these knowledge-hungry software developers can devour content from a vast span of themes – Microsoft Computing Technologies, Rich Web Technologies, Enterprise Java, Agile and Dynamic Languages – as well take deep dives into specific topics through extended workshops.
GIDS will showcase over 100 focussed sessions and keynote presentations from a wide range of international speakers, including our very own Mark Miller and Gary Short. Even DevExpress CTO, Julian Bucknall, will be “treading the boards” to deliver a technical session.
