Speaker & Talk

Paul Stannard

Paul will be discussing the following:

Software then and now: a personal journey

I started my first software company in 1982 and have been an active developer for more than 40 years. What were the challenges back then compared to the present day? How has the business changed? What have I learned that still apply today?

P.S. We're looking for speakers for 2025!

Do you have insights, projects, or expertise you'd like to share with the NHDNUG community? Whether you're an experienced speaker or presenting for the first time, we'd love to feature you in one of our upcoming meetups!
