Keynote: The Last Twenty Years of Software Development
In 2002, the software development landscape was very different - what has happened in the past twenty years, and what can that tell us about the next?
Join Richard Campbell as he looks back through the evolution of rapid development tools, the growth of the internet, mobile technology, the emergence of cloud technologies, open-source, and all the elements of the past twenty years of development that speak to a future that's hard to imagine!
