Boston – Code Camp #28 – November 2017

I am excited about the opportunity to present at Code Camp 28 in the surrounding Boston area. It will be a good time to meet old friends and make new ones.

I hope you have time to attend this awesome free event on November 18, 2017 at the Microsoft Office, Five Wayside Road, Burlington, MA.

 

Here are the details behind the first presentation that I gave that day.

New visualization technology brings all this together to see your business like never before.
