Track topics for QCon San Francisco 2015 been finalized and published to the conference website. Registrations for the event - which has been completely sold out for the past four years - are up 200% compared to the same time last year.
After much debate, the committee for QConSF, which includes awesome engineers from the Bay Area and beyond have aligned on the tracks which will make up QConSF.
