NDC (Norwegian Developer Conference) has just ended its 12th consecutive event in Oslo. As always, the speaker list contained some big international names combined with some local talent. The agenda contained 185 talks divided in 10 simultaneous tracks, ranging through 45 different technologies. It's impossible to manage all the talks, but luckily they're made available online.
Novanet made a presence at NDC with several employees attending, and we also had our own stand with a self-made arcade machine and self-made game!
