BetterCode 2020 is the new developer conference from heise developer. dpunkt.verlag and iX, It takes place from September 28th to October 2nd in Darmstadt. In more than 100 sessions and workshops, the event is intended to offer its participants a cross-section of the most important developments in programming paradigms, programming languages and tools, as well as the cultural shifts in the IT departments. On the one hand, visitors should get a pragmatic insight into contemporary software development and, on the other hand, space for inspiration and creativity away from their everyday project work.
The aim of the organizers is to quickly grow the conference to a four-digit number of participants. For this purpose, the organizers were able to attract several well-known software developers and architects as well as IT project managers as speakers. Jutta Eckstein, Dominik Ehrenberg, Mahbouba Gharbi, Rainer Grimm, Nicolai Josuttis, Felix von Leitner (aka Fefe), Carola Lilienthal, Sandra Parsick, Golo Roden, Lars Röwekamp, Schlomo Schapiro, Holger Schwichtenberg, Michael Stal, Gernot Starke, Stefan Tilkov, Christian Wenz, Christian Weyer, Eberhard Wolff and Oliver Zeigermann have enjoyed a good reputation in the scene for years.
First keynote by a highly decorated researcher
Mira Mezini was the first keynote speaker. She heads the software engineering department at the TU Darmstadt and has received several awards, including research awards from IBM, Oracle and Google. In addition, she received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council for her work, the highest and most prestigious research funding in the EU.
Regardless, the betterCode call for proposals is now open. Experienced speakers can apply with a 45-minute lecture or an all-day workshop. The deadline for this is until March 20.
