Homebrew: How to Unite Developers, IT Administrators, and Security Professionals
Friday July 18, 2025 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
TBA 3
Join Workbrew's Brandon Valentine, a long-time Homebrew devotee and contributor, as he shows off the #1 Mac App Store for developers from the perspective of an IT admin. We'll discuss the fundamentals of Homebrew, and how embracing it can become an asset to IT and security - not a liability. It's already helping your developers be productive, but there are some surprising ways it can help your overall fleet management story beyond the developer community.

Key skills include defining project requirements, assessing software features, selecting vendors, conducting structured evaluations, and presenting findings to stakeholders. By the end, participants will be equipped to navigate software selection and make well-informed recommendations.
