Transformative Tech


We're always on the lookout for the tools and best practices that can help us do our jobs faster and more efficiently so we can bring them to you here. With generative AI, we're looking at a game that has entered a whole new dimension.


A great place to start is to work with it, so we looked around and found an article on ZD Net that walks us through building a simple app using ChapGPT.


Meanwhile, the CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide Conference coming up in the Spring is shaping up to be the best offering of its kind by a long shot.


Important PSA:  Early Bird ticket pricing ends in just one day as we send this, March 31st.  After that, prices will go up!


If you haven't registered for the conference yet, go get your tickets now →


If you're looking for the latest updates on how the conference is shaping up, including news about logistics, the training agenda, and the new Bootcamp option, we have a video of the CA Communities Webcast with all of that and more. So check in on the latest and get your tickets before prices go up.


Once you have your early bird tickets in hand, come back and check out our articles on CSS Subgrid, data pipelines, the best mechanical keyboards on the market, and more down below.
