JULY 22, 2014 (Exton, PA) The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) will shine a spotlight on two increasingly important disciplines Development Operations, or "DevOps," and Agile Development during back-to-back workshops on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2014 in Denver.

Michael (Doc) Norton, global director, engineering culture for Groupon, and technology leaders from Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Liberty Global will engage in a pair of one-hour discussions that are designed to provide an overview of DevOps, as well as an understanding of how DevOps and Agile Development are supporting cable's RDK initiative.

"Our industry is rapidly adopting DevOps methods for software development and to bring products to market," said Tony Werner, executive vice president and CTO of Comcast Cable. "The insights of Doc Norton and our other panelists, as well as the real-world implementation of RDK, will help our audience understand the vision and the reality of DevOps' contributions to cable's competitive position."
