Skills Matter is delighted to support DevOpsDays 09 - the conference that brings together developers with system administrators.
About DevOpsDays Some call this phenomenon devops, others agile system administration. Truth is that agile techniques used in development have an impact on the way operations organises it work. Similarly, operations and sysadmins are becoming programmers because of the virtualization and automation trend where everything is managed through an API.
So if you are a developer with an interest for system administration, or a sysadmin interested in development, join devopsdays - the first conference that focuses on bringing the best of both worlds together.
