I will not say about the rest of the conference, but people who visited SQA Days 2008 wrote in questionnaires that, in addition to ideas, I would like to receive knowledge from events.
BUT, in the format of conference reports it is almost unreal. And, in this regard, a different format of the event is offered: a set of mini-trainings / master classes throughout the software development cycle. ')
On June 28, 2008, the first conference dedicated to training in software development in a new format - Training Labs 2008 will be held in Moscow
In one day, you can attend master classes in any of the following areas!
Software development, design, architecture. Requirements analysis and management. Creation of documentation. Project management. Testing, test management. Usability in design, development and testing. Communication (in a team, with a customer, ...). Training of trainers, organizational practices. Software development and testing tools. Software development methodologies.
If you are a company that plans to train its employees, then at the conference you will find answers to the questions:
Which training center do you prefer? Or maybe invite an experienced freelance expert? Who are the teachers, really, a “guru” in their field? How to distinguish the wheat from the chaff? How to check the reputation of the training center / coach? What training product is in demand in the market? What is good training and what to expect from it?
All the companies need to do is to send their experts to this conference.And on the spot they will appreciate the level of trainings and trainers.
And what is the use of this conference for a specialist? If you are interested in learning in the field of software development, you can:
For 1 day visit several trainings / master classes. "Feel" coaches in action. Share experiences, get answers to questions. Get a directory guide to the industry. Expand the network of professional contacts. Formulate criteria for evaluating training programs. Evaluate the reputation of coaches in the professional community.
The most important thing is to compare training centers, trainers and choose exactly what you need.
