First of all, a few words from\u00a0a first-time-Devoxxian to those who don’t know the conference: founded in 2001 in Antwerp, it is now one of the largest community-driven (though sponsored) conferences with spin-offs across the world. It is always sold out and has a really nice atmosphere\u00a0that really thrives on its venue: a super-modern cinema with huge screens and extremely comfy seats.<\/p>\n
I attended the whole week (two „university“ days and three conference days) and I will just pick out a few talks which were especially interesting and\/or entertaining.<\/p>\n
Right now, the keynote is not (yet?) up on YouTube, but I hope they will make it available, too. Especially the part of guest speaker Lawrence M. Krauss: He is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist and gave a short overview over the history of the universe. Very inspiring and entertaining\u2014not software-related, but a good watch nonetheless!<\/p>\n
