THEC Talks #1 was an opportunity for students to exchange experiences and insights about web-related technical subjects. This event was organized *by* and *for* the students from HEC Paris. Some students talked about subjects they care about, dealing with various aspects of the web such as web languages, e-marketing, analytics, mobile development, cloud computing, etc. These talks all had one common rule : practice over theory. That is why efforts have been made to be as much « hands-on » as possible, with lots of live demos and visuals. This event was an initiative from Emiland De Cubber & Nicolas Mondollot, two students from Digital Business Strategy course of HEC Paris and Télécom ParisTech.
