BOSTON, Sept 15 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sept. 21st the EntreTech Forum panel will bring together local software developers and the professionals who manage them to distill and provide a lay-person's view into the jargon-riddled word of software development. The panel discussion will deliver a general overview of the software development process, will provide a perspective on how software developers view the world and what motivates them, and then will dive into specific decision components. As ever, the discussion will be oriented towards a back-and-forth discussion with the audience, to make sure everyone walks away with enhanced understanding.
