Codetown ::: a software developer's community
There's theory, fiction, and fantasy. . .and then there's real life. Life's lessons—successes and failures alike—have much to teach us. Since there is only so much that one person can experience in a given time, learning how a company or team has succeeded with a new initiative, implemented a new language, or reconfigured their architecture is both fascinating and incredibly enlightening—and so is hearing about their failures. The In Real Life track at OSCON brings you war stories from the front lines. In this related online conference, Heather Migliorisi, Jennifer Marsman, and Ed Finkler share their experience and offer practical takeaways you can apply to your own projects. Come ready with your questions.
