Getting here after a day's work or after a long walk and you feelling thirsty? We got you covered!
From Ruby to Elixir by Igor Šarčević
Do you want to extend your Ruby applications to handle millions of requests backed with a rock solid fault tolerant platform?
Elixir is probably a great choice for you. In this session I'll share some insights about Elixir, and describe how we managed to speed up parts of our infrastructure by introducing Elixir/Erlang into our stack.
Break
Wow, great talk right? Time for some chit chat!
Roundtable: Creating a great engineering culture
Creating a great engineering culture - Roundtable with Antonio Arrais de Castro (GlassesGroupGlobal), Jose Antonio Silva (Devscope), Mariana Salvaterra (Blip.pt) and Teresa Carreiro (Critical Manufacturing).
"What makes great teams? How much autonomy and transparency is right? Why would you join some teams and not others?
Featuring four speakers from different backgrounds, we'll discuss these and other topics in a very interactive session, moderated by Vânia Gonçalves (Research | R&D Coordinator @ NMusic/FEUP)."
Networking (and more drinks!)
Introvert or extrovert, don't be shy, be chatty, get to know people! Instagram the event, take selfies, go wild!
