I love the constant challenge of staying on top of the latest IT & Java technology. It’s incredible how much innovation there is and how it improves the world around us. Sharing and applying these insights is what drives me and what we do at OpenValue where I work as a director. I’m also a former JUG leader at NLJUG, program lead for Codemotion and active member at Foojay. You can easily reach me on Twitter at @roywasse.
Presented before at conferences like JavaOne, Devoxx Antwerp, Javazone Oslo, Codemotion Amsterdam and many meetups

Expect an clear overview of modern engineering approaches backed by several data sources (Redmonk, Standish, Gartner, Forbes) about adoption of languages, agile approaches, tech stack setup and team roles and next an opinionated view on how to actually get it right based on practical project experience from OpenValue's co Founder Roy Wasse
How good of a developer are you?
Are you a good Java developer? What makes a good developer? And how can we measure this?
If you ask Oracle they'll say OCP (Oracle Certified Programmer), which means that you know when the compiler makes those red squiggly lines in your IDE disappear.
If you ask FAANG companies it means you can balance a binary tree on a whiteboard.
All of these methods involve some knowledge and memory, but have very little to do with actual day-to-day programming, technical skill, problem solving and creativity. And.. don’t you think it’s annoying you have to take all these technical tests even though you’ve been coding for many years?
In this talk we'll describe our long journey to find a better way to test software development skills; a model based on scientific research, to measure actual coding skills, in a realistic environment. Demo & code included. We're currently working with the (international) Foojay.io community to use these measures and set up a more realistic certification process.
