Application Developer Days will be in May

May 11-12 this year in Moscow will host the third conference of professional programmers Application Developer Days (ADD).

What you need to know about the ADD conference for someone who has not been to it? Firstly, this is a conference about technologies: about programming languages, libraries, tools, architectural solutions and complex projects. There are almost no reports about managing people, about effective methods for manually searching for errors and about ways to convince the customer that there are no errors and everything is going according to plan. Despite the importance of such reports for the industry as a whole, they are boring for the programmer. Imagine how, in all the Agile shine, you are developing an automated workplace for ATP dispatcher on FoxPro ... Definitely, some things are better not to imagine.

Secondly, Application Developer Days is, of course, a conference not for everyone. If you are really developing a workstation on FoxPro, and plan to do this further, then ADD is not your case. You will be disturbed by reports about obscure languages ​​such as Erlang, Scala, Kotlin. Some of them are being developed right now, which is generally beyond the reasonable. What for? Are they missing FoxPro? There are some distributed data warehouses, of course, you will never need. We are not talking about cloud computing at all - only the secretary of a director has Internet access in ATP. So it’s better to sit quietly until the end of the working day and go home.

Thirdly, ADD is not limited to any one language or development platform. We are ready to discuss any languages, any platforms, any projects. No one knows what each of you will face tomorrow. A new challenge may be unexpected, like a bolt from the blue. And it will be necessary to accept, or go aside. We will teach you how to be in the subject and maintain knowledge at the modern level.

Our world - the world of software development - is constantly changing, and under these conditions, every programmer must make a choice for himself: stay on track, close his eyes and rest on his laurels, or keep his ears on the top of his head, follow the latest and try to apply them to his practice. Someone calmed down after listening to a course at the institute, that is, in fact, and not starting the search, and someone is searching every day. ADD Conference - for programmers of the second type. There are significantly fewer of them than the first ones, but all the more pleasant it is to gather with them in one place.

We invite all true programmers to participate in the conference. Here you can listen to good reports of smart people and talk enough with your brothers in mind. They will help you in finding a new one. Because, if you just read about everything that appears daily, you’ll read for days on end, and you won’t even have time to take away the tares from the chaff. At the conference there will be people who have already selected something useful for themselves and enthusiastically talk about it. There is reason to listen.

The “Reports” section of the conference website is constantly updated. Already there are reports there about Azure and AWS, about Scala and about the new Kotlin language, about how to draw 2D graphics and about computer vision.

If you also have something to tell your colleagues, then this is wonderful. Do you have an unusual, complex, large, interesting project? Tell me! Using a non-standard programming language, a new database, a fresh library? Share your experience! Have you come up with a new architectural approach? Teach!

Speaking with a report helps you organize your own knowledge, and also gives you the opportunity to receive a well-deserved portion of respect from colleagues. In addition, speakers participate in the conference for free.

All conference reports are recorded on video, combined with presentation screencasts and published on the site http://addconf.ru/. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the reports of past years; there is something there that is still being discussed. And your report will also be able to see hundreds and thousands of viewers. Especially if he will be slaughter.

As an example of the widely discussed reports, we suggest watching a video or reading transcripts:

• Report by Dmitry Zavalishin about Phantom-OS .
• Report of Max Lapshin about the development of video hosting on Erlang .
• Report by Vladimir Klimontovich about Apache Hadoop .

But do not forget that no video can replace live human communication. See you at Application Developer Days!
