Mulesoft #Connect14 Curated Resources

The purpose of this post is to assemble resources shared about Mulesoft's Connect Conference, before, during, and soon after the event. Mulesoft Connect will be held in San Francisco from May 27-29 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, promising "two unparalleled days of integration discovery."

I will be updating this post as new resources come in through the backchannel on Twitter at #Connect14. If you have resources to share, please tweet a link using the hashtag #Connect14 and mention me or ServiceRocket. I’ll be sure to add it.

What is a backchannel?

A backchannel is the practice of using computers (ok, smartphones mostly) to maintain a real-time, online conversation alongside a primary group activity, event, or conference. Backchannels are mainly used by people who want to participate in a conference without attending the conference. But guess what, it turns out, people at the conference participate, too...sharing resources and their experiences at the conference. People also use it to otherwise connect with each other.

What is curation?

I am not talking about curating art at a gallery, although that is extremely glamorous. I am talking about curating content from a conference using a conference backchannel as a means for following, collecting, and sharing resources about the conference and the conference topic.

List of Resources

As I discover resources and as people share them throughout the week of Connect14, I will add to this list.
