There are many software developers who create beautiful applications and software for their companies. Well there was a platform where in some of the world class software developers and industry experts came in Pune and showcased their knowledge and wisdom to the IT Professionals in the city. This event took place at Hyatt Regency on 30th April 2016. We got an opportunity to have a glimpse of this conference in the city.
Great Indian Developer Summit 2016 Pune
Well the stage was set and it was time for all the software developers in the city to get a lot of knowledge and insights into the new trends and great learnings by some of the industry experts and pioneers of various technologies related to Software Development. Software Developers love coding and it is their life.
Some have interests in a particular field and some have passion for a particular niche in programming. So very enthusiastic software developers from the Pune city came in, to get more knowledge from the experts at the GIDS 2016(Great Indian Developer Summit).
The event started with a welcome note. It was then followed by a very interesting and exciting session of Scott Davis explaining the importance of storytelling. I liked this session a lot. It was then followed by a session by Douglas Crockford who explained the concepts of Javascript with interpretation of star wars. That was very exciting moment for the crowd.
Later Rajdeep Dua of Salesforce talked about tech careers and learning in 21st century. It was then followed by a session with Aditee Rele of Microsoft talking about the journey to the intelligent cloud.
It was a house full event and the audience was keen and interested to know about the latest technology in development and also new insights from the industry experts. A lot of learning for the developers indeed. The above were common sessions and then it was time to split the space into 5 different classrooms kind of arrangement. There were 5 sessions running in parallel at the same time.
So it was upto the participant to decide which session to attend. I liked the sessions by Scott Davis as he was teaching amazing concepts in a very unique way. Many other speakers were enlightening the audience with a variety of topics related to software development. I have attended various conferences, but I was impressed to see the loyalty of the attendees to attend all the sessions with utmost interest.
The event had stalls of Salesforce, Hazelcast, GrapeCity,etc. People were excited to know about these companies and their services too. Also there were a lot of goodies given to the participants by these companies. Some lucky draw winners won big. They won Apple iPad Mini and also a drone. So all the professionals were happy to get as much knowledge as they can in this amazing summit.
I liked the focus of the conference more on the sessions aspect as there are many individuals who are keen to learn more from the speakers. Also the audience seemed to be very focused indeed. The speakers were industry experts and came to the event right from countries like USA, Netherlands, etc. So the audience got knowledge from the global set of speakers indeed.
Finally the GIDS.MINI ended with 20 sessions from topics like the dynamic languages, functional programming, latest in Java and also from the web development perspective. Also there were interesting other topics as well. The conference completed with a lot of knowledge for the software development professionals.
Stay tuned for more such tech events on Technary.
