IT Weekend in Odessa [Pics]

Odessa IT eventsAs you know, last weekend was rich in opportunities for IT specialists to meet and learn something new during three important industry events.

The first one - Mobile Developer Day. Representatives of Samsung and Microsoft told about about perspectives and specific features of the process of mobile development under their platforms.  There were also interesting presentations about usability of mobile software, augmented reality and opportunities for monetization of mobile apps. All speakers agreed in one thing - that mobile development market is constantly gorwing, so developers can be sure that within the next few years they will have plenty of work to do.

The second one - IT Jam - is probably the biggest event in Ukrainian IT industry, that is growing year after year. Presentations were divided into the following technological sessions: QA, Web, Mobile, Java, .NET. Main stage was used for highlighting general topics of IT management and industry trends. The number of visitors was more than 1500, so at some events it was pretty hard to find a place to stand, not mentioning available seats.

During the panel discussion representatives of big Ukrainian IT outsourcing companies agreed, that they should invest in people’s education and that our outsourcing industry is strong because of high level of people’s potential and expertise in specific industry sectors. For developers it all means better opportunities for professional growth and higher salaries, that is definitely good news  :)

The third event was Odessa Camp. It was especially useful for people who wnat to launch their own start-up or are interested in possibilities for web-promotion. Famous venture investors, successful businessment and representatives of the leading internet marketing agencies shared their insights and experience to help younger interpreneurs and colleagues.

There were so many events and parties, that we made it to get to the sea only at the third day in Odessa. Probably that is the best indicator, that everything went great. Many thanks to the organizers!
