Silicon Valley Code Camp : October 19 & 20, 2019

Tracks

Silicon Valley Code Camp has chosen a few subject areas that have been organized into tracks. These tracks are designed and scheduled so that if you have a specific interest in the track theme you can attend all the sessions associated with that track in an order that makes sense with minimal overlap. Tracks are always of the highest quality content and are organized by a track lead, typically from one of our top sponsors. This does not mean that there are not other sessions in the same theme as the track, but those other sessions may overlap.
Tracks
Agile
Agile development methods such as Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP) became the norm a decade ago at successful companies across the Silicon Valley. Whether you are an agile guru or simply agile-curious, the Agile track has something to offer you. Join us as we inspect, adapt, share, learn, and improve. And as we look at what it means to not just do agile but to actually be agile. Agile track organized by Ron Lichty, VP Engineering advisor and coach at Ron Lichty Consulting, Inc., who has been training teams and coaching executives in agile for more than a decade.

    AI and Machine Learning
    Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are always highly attended sessions at Code Camp. Here are several (but not all) of those sessions grouped together as a track.

      IBM
      In this educational track you will learn about Reactive Java, Machine Learning, Serverless and Blockchain

        Interview Kickstart
        In this track you will learn from hiring mangers and tech leads at top tier tech companies, about how to prepare very effectively to crack challenging technical interviews and get life-changing compensation.    Whether you are just starting out your career, or you are above 40, or if you are in engineering management, or anywhere in between, you will learn a lot about making positively life-changing career moves.   Interview Kickstart is an innovative career upleveling service which runs multiple classroom courses (online and on-site) led by tech leads and hiring managers at FAANG companies. They have been around for 5 years and have 2000+ alumni all over the US!

          Management
          Fewer than 5% of software development managers have had a single day of training in management before becoming managers. We become managers thinking we can conquer management as easily as we did coding. It turns out managing requires both a dramatic change of focus and a whole lot of new skills. Whether you’re contemplating a move to leading and managing, or you’ve been managing for years, skip to the front of the line with this year’s Management Track thought leaders, invited and organized by Ron Lichty, VP Engineering advisor and coach at Ron Lichty Consulting, Inc. and co-author of Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams.

            React
            The JavaScript library React has completely revolutionized how we approach building user interfaces. Whether for web, native desktop, or native mobile, React empowers developers to build cross-platform apps with the full power of JavaScript. Whether you’re just getting started with React, or you’re looking to level up, this track is designed to educate and inspire you with the skills and knowledge you need to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced market.
