DevLearn 2014 is over. I’m sitting in the pool area of the Bellaggio hotel writing this evaluation. Beautiful wheater, the temperature is in the eighties (29 Celsius). In an hour I will leave for Indianapolis to visit a partner of easygenerator. I will go from crazy Halloween Vegas to a serene lake house and from 84 degrees to night frost. That is quit a difference to bridge. In a way this is an analogy for my experience at DevLearn and the state of our industry.
During DevLearn I found that there is a huge gap between the presenters and the audience. I did notice that gap at other conferences as well, but in my opinion that gap is widening. And I believe that the gap with the real world and the business reality is even bigger. Let me explain.
