1. From Good to SOLID: How to become a better developer

Speaker: Katerina Trajchevska (ADEVA)

In this exciting lecture, it’s all about the question ‘How can you become a better developer?’ In her presentation, Katerina Trajchevska (ADEVA) answers this by introducing the SOLIDE principles, which focus on the extensibility of the code and the resulting advantages. In the last few years, Katerina has worked with companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500, during this time she has experienced both the struggle of continuing someone else’s work and the joy of it. The difference is only in their approach towards the design of their code. It’s a minor effort if done on time, with a huge impact on the overall development of the software. In this presentation, she focuses on what distinguishes a good developer from a strong one and learn how to stand out from the crowd. You can learn how to write code in a way that will make it easy to go back to a feature you developed a year ago and extend it with additional functionality in minutes, not hours.
