Kariera software developera na poważnie.
Prezentacja z konferencji infoShare 2013.
Presented at infoShare 2013 conference, Gdańsk, 2013
This is a presentation I delivered as part of the Rock the Technical Interview workshop at the University of Waterloo for Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering and other students. It covers 20 quick tips on having a successful technical interview, especially for a role as a Coop student.
Phase 3: Better ideas (Presentation at SalesForce 1-28-2015)Bruce Eckel
First came tools: programming languages, version control, testing, build automation and eventually continuous delivery. Somewhere along the tools curve, we began seeing that our process wasn't working and that we needed shorter, faster experimentation with better feedback cycles and communication, which produced Agile. Now that we have much better tools and processes (both of which continue to improve), what is the next big step in the evolution of software development, and development in general? Now that we've gotten pretty good at building things, I believe we need to get better at discovering good things to build. After a brief history of tools and processes, I will look at this need and explore how we must change our perspectives to address our next big challenge.
The 5 People in your Organization that grow Legacy CodeRoberto Cortez
Have you ever looked at a random piece of code and wanted to rewrite it so badly? It’s natural to have legacy code in your application at some point. It’s something that you need to accept and learn to live with. So is this a lost cause? Should we just throw in the towel and give up? Hell no! Over the years, I learned to identify 5 main creators/enablers of legacy code on the engineering side, which I’m sharing here with you using real development stories (with a little humour in the mix). Learn to keep them in line and your code will live longer!

Learn the tips and tricks to Win (or Lose) a Hackathon, from someone who's done both, many times! Whether you have an idea for a mobile app, a web site or service, these tips will help you avoid common pitfalls and be successful!
In many cases, we create software to solve our own problems: missing functionality in a tool, a tool that we believe doesn't work as well as it should, or the very lack of a tool that does what we need. If we're our own users, things are quite obvious. But what about everyone else? How do we know what our users need? Isn't it best to ask just them?
In this presentation, you will learn why asking your users for what they want isn't always helpful, which do-it-yourself techniques you can use to understand their needs, how to make sense of the data you collect, and how all of this translates into the development of better features. We will discuss how this knowledge can fuel your decisions, delight your users, and influence your way of working in a distributed team of developers.

Slides from a workshop at the 2019 Service Design in Government conference, Edinburgh, March 2019.
The workshop challenged participants to consider:
what happens after you've done some user research for your service? Decisions made, do you move on and forget it? Or do you preserve that research for re-use and future team members? The session was an opportunity for user researchers in government to describe, compare and improve ResearchOps activities.
There are a million places to find advice.
Personal development? Amazon.
Parenting? Magazines.
Medical? Doctor Google, anyone?
But a REAL-TIME, executed game plan from a professional who can give you ACTUAL solutions wins.

Why TIME Kills Deals
Hey – we can’t list all 11. You have to click to get the goods.
What you won’t need for this session:
Enlightenment – no guru here, just raw experience.
A note pad – we’ll send you the slide deck and copy of the video JUST for registering.
Coffee – trust us, this is information overload. You will stay awake.
What’s better? Random articles you find on the internet, or learning PROVEN habits from one of the most successful recruiters in the industry?
You decide.

Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.
