Topics for presentations at Technology Forums cover various aspects of development and administration, from development and implementation practices to process management. For example, at the fourth, autumn TechForum, we talked about how machine learning works in practice, how to live, if you manage a large development team, and how the VoIP engine works, providing audio and video communication inside Mail.Ru Agent. You can read these and other reports in the archive of the forum, there are many interesting things there.

Even if you have not been to previous TechForums, some reports from the archive may seem familiar to you: some of the speeches form the basis of our posts on Habré. For example, in past forums you could hear about how we transferred our mail to HTTPS and uploaded files to the server ; learn how to use JavaScript on the server and how not to get lost in your own scripts .
