The Future of Application Development at Illinois

Tags: , , ,

One of the major goals of the new IT strategic plan is changing how we work together in the IT community. For the last two years a voluntary consortium of Application Development teams has been building the relationships, standards, and common practices to enable that future. Come learn about our efforts and the recently published standards and code repositories for UI / UX, Data use, and authentication methods that can be adopted by developers across campus. See how you can leverage these tools to streamline your own development team and improve end-user experience, as well as how you can get involved as we build our application development community of practice.
