NDC Oslo 2016 Highlights

My work and family commitments mean I rarely get to make it to developer conferences, so I really appreciate the fact that NDC make all their session videos available for free on Vimeo.

The most recent set to go up are the ones from NDC Oslo, and as usual, I’ve bookmarked far more than I could possibly get round to watching (even at 1.5x). But I thought I’d share some of the sessions I’ve found most helpful so far.
