.NET is evolving, and the DevReach conference offers .NET developers a unique look into the present and future. Join us to hear expert speakers present future-facing content and sharing the .NET love.
.NET. It's the beloved development ecosystem for millions of developers worldwide and the platform of choice for many enterprises to run their mission-critical business applications. Of late, .NET has been enjoying a renaissance - key innovations seem to set up the framework for the next decade of success. Developer excitement is palpable.
We'll be covering the latest in .NET developments at our DevReach conference next week. This post dives into what .NET developers can look forward to from DevReach, which takes place in Sofia, BG from November 13th-14th.
.NET Everywhere
One of the key changes in modern .NET has been flexibility - .NET isn't the monolithic Windows-only framework any more. .NET today powers all kinds of apps for web/desktop/mobile across various platforms, and boasts of a healthy ecosystem with rich tooling everywhere. While AR/VR and AI make .NET future-facing, modern day tooling keep developers productive.
If you are a .NET developer attending DevReach, we have a cornucopia of .NET content delivered by some of the best speakers from around the world. DevReach has a long history of delivering the best .NET sessions, and 2018, the 10 year anniversary, promises to be an event to remember. Here's a quick look at what's in store at DevReach for .NET developers:
