Dallas TechFest - Not Just for Developers!

Written By Allison Pollard

I am excited to be presenting again at Dallas TechFest, and while the conference is packed with sessions about the latest in development, it is not just for developers.  Yes, that's right: there are sessions for those of us who work with developers but don't sling code ourselves.  I'll be doing a lunch presentation with Mike Rieser on Technical Excellence Doesn't Just Happen--Igniting a Craftsmanship Culture and co-presenting later in the afternoon with Chris Murman on Changing Organizational Mindset.  No code involved in either talk.  Check out the schedule, and I hope to see you there!
