ChristophEvents - Archive - 2017
A quick log of the events I visited/held/participated in to continuously get a better programmer in 2017.
JUG – Git Object Database
Benjamin (@dataduke) invited me to this meetup to present my Git Internals talk. Thanks to KeywebAG for hosting us, great location and service.
Lesson learned:
All in all great evening. Location, organization and moderation, the entire package.
Amazing how much work Benjamin, Jonas, Carsten and the team put into these events,
and
it paid
off.
The room was literally bursting at the seams.
Meetup: Git Analysis &
Internals,

Global Day of Code Retreat 2017
Together with Urs Metz, I again facilitated the Global Day of Code Retreat in Karlsruhe. Thanks to @petfic for hosting us at FiduciaGAD.
Lesson learned:
A room full of coders, makes me eager to code.
Next year, I'm gonna participate and code!

OpenSAP Course: Sketching Basics for IT Business
As part of my continuous learning efforts I finished this MOOC course. Sketching seamed like a neat little skill to have. Again a great, but shallow introduction (with a rather random sidetrack on responsive design).
Lesson learned:
Learning and following some basic rules is a great way to get started on sketching.
But more important is constant doing and trying!

Busconf 2017
Two full days of open space in Rückersbach (near Aschaffenburg) Friday and Saturday. Lightning Talks to start things of on Thursday.
Lesson learned:
Awesome group and energy!
First time I managed to make particular use of the "open" part of the OpenSpace,
spending the whole Saturday afternoon on my reducer implementation, totally
unplanned.
Thanks Nicole!

CppUG – Git Object Database
The C++ User Group in Karlsruhe asked me to present my Git Internals talk at one of their upcoming events.
Lesson learned:
There is always something new to learn, this time was all destruction.
So for example create a circular dependency with tree objects pointing at each
other.
And don't forget: "xxd - make a hexdump or do the reverse."

XP Days Germany
I volunteered to help the review process. The XP Days programm committees target is to have all proposed sessions reviewed at least twice.
Lesson learned:
Very interesting to judge sessions based on their excerpt.
Makes it very clear what to write in your own session proposals.
Also, Conftool has still a long way to go in terms of user experience.

Entwicklertag Karlsruhe 2017
This time around I moderated the Softwerkskammer track, Monday afternoon, three sessions. Other than that, the typicall mix of sessions with spectactular names but shallow content and the other way around.
Lesson learned:
Again a great way to connect with the community, colleagues and friends.
OpenSAP Course: Software Design for Non-Designers
As part of my continuous learning efforts I finished this MOOC course. User-Experience wasn't a big part of my studies and this course provided for a great, but shallow, introduction to this topic.
Lesson learned:
The practical design challenge was a great assignment to actually apply what we
learned
in the
weeks before.
The peer review was rather random though.
