Topics / what are we looking for?

As usual, we want to keep the content diverse and technically broad. We believe the best learning happens when we are curious and open to new ideas across all technologies. In our community, developers from all technical levels should feel welcome.

We try to keep the range of topics wide and varied. Talks should be targeted to a developer audience. There are always students in the audience, but also experienced developers. Have a look at the schedules of our past events to see what types of talks our audience expects.
