IT digest of December events (part two)
We conclude the review of the events of this year with a small pre-Christmas selection: naturally, everyone continues to sum up the results of the year in small interest groups. Data science and testing specialists are particularly active in this regard; Clouds and blockchains are also popular. We plan to prepare the next issue by mid-January - we hope that after the holidays the bored IT community will arrange a new surge of activity!
