Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020.
Abstract
Free is a word that has been overloaded through the course of human history, with both good intentions and bad. All will be enumerated with a specific focus on “free” in the context of the modern internet and what it means to the construction and deployment of complex web applications.
You will leave this talk with an arsenal of better words to use (in most cases), but it will be up to you to provide the will to use them.
