With so much happening across the industry and with so many developments within Progress itself, this year should be particularly lively and intense. For example, we have nearly a dozen instructor-led, hands-on workshops planned along with roughly 50 breakout sessions organized under five session areas. Among them are a deep dive on Node.js and why it matters, ways to prosper with Pacific, and a whole host of rapid application development topics covering integration, mobility, SaaS and Rollbase – and a workshop on building a mobile app in one hour or less!
