Every year Android developers of all skill levels from around the world descend on Texas to learn, teach, drink and eat huge amounts of BBQ! This year is no different and so as usual, xda-developers will be sponsoring the BABBQ alongside our friends at Sony, ideaa and Facebook.
Head over to the event on October 21—22 at Hurst CC, Hurst in Texas to meet some great like minded people as well as some of your favorite developers from xda and as an added bonus if you buy your tickets in the next week you can get them for just $64.99! There will be a huge range of talks over the course of the weekend including:
Feature Talk: Cradle to Career – Pathways to Success In Tech is a diversity in tech round-table
Big tech companies are screaming “we want, no, we need diversity in our industry” – but how do we really achieve that? The skills required to create top-notch code are learned like a second language and the best time to get a person started on the path to code immersion is at an early age. We need to look to our preschoolers and elementary age children to become the highly skilled computer scientists, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers of tomorrow. Cradle to Career – Pathways to Success in Tech endeavors to cut through the noise and go right to the heart of the matter; asking the tough questions about how we get children from underrepresented communities on a path that leads to productivity and meets the current and future demands for skilled engineers and entrepreneurs.
