CSUN Developer Sessions

RantWoman used to consider herself more of a programmer geek than she does now. RantWoman still considers herself enough of a geek to want to know the lay of the land as far as many developer issues. With that in mind, here collected by one of he crack programmers who helped with previous refinements of the CSUN website, is a list of his read of Developer sessions from CSUN.



FYI - I found 16 sessions related to software or web development,
described below.
