Rockin’ The Code World Panel with dotNetDave
In a recent thought-provoking edition of dotNetDave’s “Rockin’ the Code World” on C SharpTV, Developer Technologies MVP David McCarter helmed a panel discussion with distinguished industry veterans to dissect various facets of the conference experience in the tech realm. My fellow panelists included Carl Franklin, Executive VP at App vNext and .NET Rocks! co-host; Rockford Lhotka, VP of Strategy at Xebia, RD and Developer Technologies MVP, and creator of CSLA .NET; and Poornima Nayar, a seasoned .NET developer, Developer Technologies MVP, and Umbraco specialist.
The lively conversation revolved around understanding the unique value that conferences provide in contrast to other learning mediums like blogs and training courses. We delved into the motivations that drive professionals to attend conferences, addressing a significant challenge many face: corporate resistance to employee participation. We also tackled a pertinent issue that often flies under the radar – in a world where more and more content is digital, a growing apathy towards conferences. We shared our insights on how to overcome these hurdles and underscored the irreplaceable insights that come from being part of a conference community.
This panel discussion offered a multifaceted exploration of the technical conference landscape, sure to benefit anyone in the software development industry, from seasoned engineers to executives contemplating the advantages of conference attendance.
