I welcome colleagues of developers, architects, testers and all experts involved in software development. For those of you who missed the Microsoft TechEd Russia conference, I would like to tell you that on November 27, as part of the plenary report of the conference, Scott Guthrie from the scene TechEd Russia announced the
start of registration for the next
DevCon 2013 conference entirely devoted to software development issues security.

DevCon conference is not the first year and has already managed to catch the fancy of Russian developers and guests from other countries. A key feature of this series of conferences is its country format, the venue is carefully chosen from the best guesthouses near Moscow. At the same time, all conference participants drove into a country holiday home and lived there for two days of the conference, receiving all the pleasant advantages of these places.
We are proud of the unique format of the conference and are constantly improving it: along with deep technical material, there is an excellent opportunity to meet, see colleagues, take part in the community movement, try your hand at new technologies and write code and do it all in a very pleasant place outside the city on nature.
Next year DevCon will surely continue the good tradition of country meetings and offer the participants the following format:
- 2 days, from May 29 to 30 , country format;
- 60 reports;
- Boot Camps * (Learning technology in practice);
- Master classes;
- Night of Coding (Night coding);
- Focus groups;
- Round tables;
- Evening program;
- Outdoor activities;
- Sports activities.
The key topics for DevCon'2013 will be the following:
- Modern client applications
- Mobile development
- Cloud computing
- Software Development and Lifecycle Management Tools
- Development Technologies and Programming Languages
- Development, monetization and promotion of applications for app stores
- Modern Design Microsoft
- Corporate development, data processing
Another announcement by TechEd Russia was the names of the two first key
speakers of the conference : Jonas Persson, Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft Corporation, and Alexander Lozhechkin, Director of Strategic Technologies at Microsoft in Russia, who will speak about key company innovations and technologies for developers.
Indeed, the conference will have a very dense and rich technical program, which we will dilute with evening entertainment programs. And this is in addition to close communication with technology experts, speakers from different countries, colleagues from all over Russia and other countries. Alas, the conference has always experienced difficulties in meeting the demand for tickets, and there are always many more places that we can attend to those who want to attend the conference.
However, there is good news: we open ticket sales in advance, and what's more, today we sell them to early buyers at the lowest price. You have a great opportunity to be the first to stake out a place at the conference without losing the opportunity to participate when all tickets are sold out. More information about prices and various discounts can be found on a
special section of the official site. Below are the prices for different participants in a table:

Hurry up to buy a ticket for yourself and your colleagues, they diverge very quickly.
Below, I added some photos from the previous DevCon'2012 conference, much more can be
found in my post on Habré made following the results of the last spring of 2012 conference. Find out how DevCon took place last time in May 2011
