Developer Happiness Days are coming soon
The JISC sponsored Developer Happiness Days will take place in London on 9th-13th February 2009.
Who is the event for?
- The event is aimed at developers in UK Higher Education, however there will also be places available for developers outside the UK and from outside HE.
- If you aren’t a software developer but are still interested then you may want to come along to provide a user perspective for the developers participating in the event.
- If you are more of a tinkerer then a developer then you may be interested in the pre event day designed to develop skills.
- If your interest is community development then you may be interested in the community collaboration day of the event or you may wish to take advantage of the rooms available to run your own meeting after the event has finished.
What will happen at the event?
At the moment the agenda is being finalised but the provisional plan is for an event split into 3 parts:
- A pre-event day that will be focused on developing skills.
- The main event, which will be a 2 day coding session with prizes for the best code.
- The third day of the event will focus on bringing together developers into communities based around software platforms.
- There will be rooms available on the 4th day for people to arrange meetings or events to add on to the end of the dev8D.
