Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and , Wipro Technologies were among the many leading companies that sent their top software professionals to SD Best Practices India for its unprecedented programs, as well as the opportunity to network with peers, industry experts, and vendors. Industry leaders such as Intel, Microsoft, IBM, and Infragistics showcased their latest technologies, and attendees enjoyed a comprehensive technical program covering critical software development topics, such as security, interface design, and global project management.

"This event gave India’s software professionals the opportunity to interact with world-renown software developers like Scott Meyers and Herbert Thompson, and it gave us the opportunity to truly understand the global nature of software development," says Jonathan Erickson, editor-in-chief of Dr. Dobb’s Journal and editorial director for Dr. Dobb’s Events. "And just as important, the events provided all of us the opportunity to make new friends and colleagues, as well as enabling attendees to enhance their careers."
