Learning R through sports, or learning sports through R
Big data has been a buzzword for years, but it’s only recently been hitting the world of professional sports. How do sports teams use this big data? Why with R! Together we’ll learn what kind of data they look for and how they present it. Along the way we’ll look at real world examples of R code interpreting, calculating and presenting sports data. You’ll get an overview of the cool things you can do with R and many places where you can start using it with available data sets, or your own.
There are Too Many Podcasts: So You Should Start One
As you grow as a developer you learn a lot of tricks to help you grow and learn more efficiently and in your own style. Every time you work with or interact with another person in the field you have the chance to learn how they learn, and vice-versa. What if there was a way to catalog all of these ideas and even share them? There is: Podcasting!
As I walk you through my journey, learn how creating even the most basic recording on your phone can help you organize ideas, plan out what you want to learn, and kickstart your memory for those little-used nuggets.
How to Google like your job depends on it
Everyone in the tech space uses Google to help them with their job, but how often do they really think about how efficiently it's being used. The joke is that a senior-level engineer is just a better 'Googler' than a more junior one, so why not level-up that skill-set?
This talk will go over how to find what you're looking for on that first page, with actual examples, so you can be a senior level searcher. These are translatable tools to any search engine, even into using AI helpers.
Making Interviews (slightly) Less Awkward
How to make sure you get what you want out of an interview, no matter which side of the table you are on. Interviews are the small glimpse you get before accepting a job, or giving an offer, how can you make the most of this limited time? This session will go over how to make sure you learn what you need to from every interview regardless of what side you are on.
Do I Test All The Things? Do I Need to?
How do you determine what should be a unit test, part of an automation suite, or even a manual test? This session will walk you through example projects determining what needs to be tested, when they need to be figured out, where in the lifecycle these should be written, and how to actually test it best. You will walk away with a set of tools to approach existing and new projects to ensure the maximum amount of situations tested with a minimum amount of effort.
Empower Product with AI
Tools like Cursor and Bolt are easy to use, but also easy to break code with. While they can be useful to fill-in some boilerplate code, or help generate ideas when stuck, they can also wreak havoc if not contained. So get the non-technical users to use them.
Having people on the product or business side of things use Cursor or CoPilot can get them from 0 to clickable demo quickly. Giving them the ability to show something beyond whiteboard sketches, or flat images. More importantly it can also teach them to ask for precisely what they want and learn how iterative code works.
In this talk I will show you how to "empower" (or train) the non-technical side of business with AI powered coding, while also showing why humans are still needed.
