2022 European DevSummit is a wrap
领英推荐
As you read this, many of the Redlands based Geodevs are on their way back from Munich, Germany where they gathered with the European developer community for the annual European DevSummit, an event for developers by developers who live by the code! This was an in-person chance to learn about the new tools, APIs, developer resources etc... the latest technology that enables them to build all the great web apps, services, and mobile apps that we all enjoy every day. You can catch some of the updates on Twitter (sorry, unless Elon has turned you completely off of it!) and remember, the 2023 DevSummit will take place in-person in Palm Springs, CA , March 7-10 - I hope to see you there (PS, I hear there may be some dodgeball! Sshhhhhhh)

Geography EDU Fun!
Finally, to close things out, I learned about this really fun geography resource from the USGS. Ideal for adults and kids, test your geography knowledge by assembling a Landsat image puzzle. A very clever resource discovered during Geography awareness week. Enjoy assembling your Landsat Puzzles HERE

Thanks again for listening. On a side note, have you had enough with Twitter as of late? I have to admit, it's been a very tough pill to swallow and I have removed the app from my phone due to all the crazy! Oh, and unrelated, are you into GeoGeek Swag? If so you might check out this shop that I created a few years back, currently offering 20% off everything, including "jeeogruhfer" Swag! The prices are amazing, the service and delivery is FAST, and the quality of the goods including T shirts, hoodies, etc.. is excellent!
