I'm Graduating Soon. Help! How Do I Get into the Tech Field?Tessa Mero
The tech field is booming and more and more companies are moving to be fully remote, giving more options to work at different tech companies. There are so many software engineering jobs open, but it seems so difficult to achieve! A big dream so close, but yet so far away. Whether you are still in college or freshly graduated, the earlier you start the process, the better your chances of getting hired are.
I've been in the tech field for 9 years now, and part of it was teaching programming at a college, working with students, and also being a student myself, I clearly see a pattern of how you can become "zero to successful" if you follow a very simple plan. I've mentored countless students as well as junior developers throughout my career. So, what's the plan?
Mentorship.
Personal Projects/Learning
Contributions.
Building a Personal Brand.
Networking.
Mock Interviews.
I'm going to go over these key points into more detail and how you can get started with it. I'll also have plenty of resources to provide for you that will help you with your next steps.
You will gain a lot of knowledge from this session and will feel not only more confident, but you'll feel the fire in your soul to want to make your dreams come true.
Are you ready to get hired?
Productivity tools you should know about if you want to have a focused learni...stijn vanpoucke
Due the extreme amount of resources we're getting overwhelmed with blogs, articles, youtube channels, online courses, books, etc...
After this conference you'll definitely have multiple topics you want to learn more about. But distractions, information overload, work priorities and others are not helpful towards focused learning. Maybe your HR department enforces you to do a yearly reflection on what you've learned, and you'll definitely have stuff to tell, but most likely there will also be topics that you where not able to dive in to as much as you wanted. During the years I've combined different proven techniques like OKR's and GROW. But I always struggled to keep track of them on a daily/weekly basis.
I'm not an HR guy I'm technical and I love tools. So I'm using tools to motivate myself and to get my focus back, I'm using notion, pocket, IFTTT, Kanban boards and mind mappings, etc.. Some I failed to keep in my daily routine but others where surprisingly useful. Those are the ones I want to share with you so that you can started using them and become an even more better developer in no-time. These tools will become your personal coach. They'll help you to reason about your goals as a developer, they will help you to organise all the gathered information, they will enforce you to work on your skills on a short- and long-term basis, and they'll make sure that you spend your time more wisely. I wished that I knew about them many years ago.

We're all Designers: Encouraging Collaboration in Design Without Forming a Co...Catt Small
Product design and development often involves many people of different roles who enter and leave at different parts of a project. However, this can cause communication problems and responses that sound like "you're the designer", "that'll take too much time", or "that's not my job" when people attempt to collaborate.
In this talk, Catt discussed methods used to cross silos in order to speed up the design and development process while also building camaraderie, agency, and transparency. She also discussed ways to encourage teams that may be reluctant to change and ways to get upper management on board with a more collaborative design process.
What is collective code ownership in agile teams? what are its advantages? .What are the common pitfalls of it ?.

How Open Source Helps to Bring Back Product ObsessionSauce Labs
When a company relies heavily on open source, it is a common practice to develop strategies and long term goals to manage the relationship between the company’s products and the open source ecosystem. We created the Open Source Program Office to:
- Make sure the important open source projects for Sauce are in a healthy state
- Motivate all Sauce Labs employees to consume and contribute to OSS in a simple, secure and healthy way
- Facilitate communication between product and the open source ecosystem
- Bring developers closer to the community to enable innovation and product obsession
- Shape and build important standards for Sauce Labs, such as WebDriver, in collaboration with other open source groups
This talk will show how we are doing all this in small steps, planning for the long run and involving all teams to increase the sense of belonging of OSS. And more importantly, it will show why having an open source strategy matters, and how can this benefit everyone in the long term.
Key Takeaways
- Why Sauce Labs created the Open Source Program Office, current projects and vision for the future
- Why having a healthy open source ecosystem matters and how that can help your organization down the road
- How open source can motivate teams to develop a product obsession
This is a crowd-sourced repository of all possible hacks for a developer's career growth. Combine a couple of them as your time allows and you will have a great recipe to the next level in your career.
For this research, we compiled our knowledge base and also specifically
crowdsourced diverse ideas & opportunities from technology leaders in different stages of their careers to build this map for developer careers.

The Technical Writers Guide to Contributing to Open Source ProjectsAll Things Open
Presented by: Edidiong Asikpo, Hashnode
Presented at All Things Open 2020
Abstract: The documentation of an open source project provides an avenue for users to not only understand the project but also make contributions to it. Surveys (https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4008838/Resources/The-2019-Tidelift-managed-open-source-survey-results.pdf) have even shown that a good documentation saves as a sign of the healthiness of an open source project.
However, technical writers still think they are not meant to contribute to open source projects because of the stereotype that only software engineers are meant to contribute to open source.
In this talk, I will introduce the audience to how technical writers can contribute to open source projects, best practices, and it’s benefits.
Trikonf 2015 - Community, Studio and the OpenExchangePaul Filkin
Presentation, with a lot of live software and website demos (not included... obviously!), delivered 11 October during the Trikonf conference in Freiburg.
Design Studio: The User Experience Practitioner’s Secret WeaponBrilliant Experience
We all want the best , but often other priorities get in the way: “Bob from Marketing wants it to…”, “The developers don’t like that approach...”, “That feature is a ‘nice to have’”.
This slide deck will walk you through a design studio and how it can be a great tool to align product owners, developers and UX teams on an approach that balances user and business needs.
Best practices for using LinkedIn Live on the LinkedIn.com PlatformRyan Ceccarelli
The following .PDF is a guide on how to use LinkedIn Live platform via LinkedIn. As such, I've gone ahead and downloaded this presentation and added it to my personal collections via SlideShare/Adobe PDF. Furthermore, I've setup a call with the 3rd party
Join Engineering Manager, Prachi Gupta and Principal Engineer, Neha Narkhede for an interactive session of personalized advice on technical interview techniques, resume writing skills and gaining extra-curricular experience that makes you stand out.
At the core, the job of a software developer is and has always been the same: writing good, elegant, sustainable and bug-free software that exceeds the expectations of your clients. But the context in which we do our job is changing and with it the skills required to be a great software developer. In this talk, I want to go through a couple of things that I think make the difference between a developer and a great developer. This includes some technical skills and practices, but also non-technical things that you might not consider relevant for a developer at first.
Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Editor's Notes
Companies understand the unique value derived from software developed through open communities and are welcoming its use in mission critical settings throughout the enterprise.
Companies that adopt open source are in a prime position to contribute back to the open source communities on which they depend. For example, most of the Linux kernel is developed and maintained by employees from companies like IBM and RedHat. However, corporate culture in many companies (and particularly in small businesses) tends to lean strictly toward consumption of open source and away from contribution. For example, in a recent survey of the Liferay community we discovered almost 75% of companies that responded do not reward or encourage open source contribution.
After responding to the boss' complaint about the website being slow and implementing the grand supplier chain portal redesign, computing staff do not have a lot of spare time for what employers may consider "pet projects" that must be done "off the clock."
What these companies fail to realize is that open source participation is a form of free on-the-job training. Sure, it takes time to fix a bug or implement a new feature, test it, prepare a code commit, and work with the core development team to incorporate the change into the codebase. The good news is that in doing these tasks, employees are learning about sound software engineering practices, quality assurance, leadership, communication skills, and teamwork (often across geographic and cultural boundaries)—a classic win-win for the company and its staff.
In addition, each successful contribution is one less thing that the company has to support during future upgrades. Finally, as staff develop expertise through participation, they become much more efficient in using the software, and reduce the cost of incremental feature development and future maintenance. Companies can sell that expertise through value added services related to the project.
Companies decide whether to enter into business with other companies based on more than just the bottom line. Forming a deep relationship with the open source communities on which you depend sends a strong signal to your current and potential customers that you are willing to invest in the mutual benefits of open source, and you’d be just as likely to do so with them. Highly skilled job seekers also participate heavily in open source projects and seek out companies with an active presence as potential employers, so it pays to become ingrained in core communities associated with your business.
1. Understand the goals of the project and make sure your contribution is in line with them.
Work in parallel with the main trunk codebase, and in concert with the project roadmap. Open source projects are fueled by community participation, and the current community has committed to the existing project goals and architecture. While creativity and innovation are important, start by 'coloring between the lines' and working within the existing direction. If you feel the architecture requires re-factoring, considering adding plug-points to graft on your extensions.
2. Submit complete patches that implement full features. Include any test information and documentation.
Because open source contributions are vetted and maintained by others, automated test cases and documentation are mandatory patch components.
3. Play by the rules of the project that you're contributing to.
Open source is all about community building and crowd sourcing. Project rule violations fractures trust and diminishes collaboration.
4. Be humble. Never add your name to the list of contributors yourself. The project leader should do so, if she or he values your work.
It takes awhile to gain street creds and be granted the keys. Take time to understand the view of others, and do not attempt to scale project meritocracy by diminishing others.
5. Have low expectations. Learn to accept rejection.
While open source provides a solid foundation, budget enough time and effort to integrate the project into your solution. If an early commit stomps on your work, re-factor your and move on.
6. Persevere. Improve upon comments and keep sending updates.
Committers are busy gate-keepers, and may place low priority on your contribution. Keep enhancing the contribution and politely pointing out the contribution's value to the wider community.
7. Be honest and vocal about your available time and skills.
While contributing source code can be daunting, other less code-intensive contribution opportunities exist. You may be more comfortable contributing documentation, blog posts, and presentations.
8. Be a doer, not a talker or a troll.
Open source project momentum is based on source code, test cases, samples, and documentation. If you are contributing more to email discussion lists rather than the code repository, consider re-prioritizing your effort.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort, but encouraging a culture of open source participation will have lasting positive effects on the company, its staff, and the open source communities to which it contributes.
