Nicol Reid - Code Over Cavities: Pivoting from Dental Nurse to Software Engineer
Switching careers is daunting, especially when moving into tech. I’ll share how I transitioned from a dental nurse to a software engineer, the obstacles I faced, and what it’s like to navigate the tech world as a woman. Whether you’re considering a career change or want to support diversity in tech, this talk will offer insights, encouragement, and lessons learned along the way.
Tom Jardine-McNamara - TDD: You're already doing it!
Test Driven Development can do wonders for your code, your tests, and your confidence. But sometimes it can feel like you need to be a 10x ninja wizard developer to do it. Here's a little secret: you're already doing TDD, even if you don't write a single test. But here's how you can harness modern tools to automate your testing, without needing to learn complex techniques or live up to purist expectations, improving your code and your mental wellbeing.
Peter Calvert - Intentional Developer, Accidental Leader:
We made an intentional decision to become designers and developers, but how many of us consciously chose to become managers or leaders? In “Intentional Developer, Accidental Leader,” I'll guide you through the tools and knowledge I've picked up on my journey as accidental manager whilst working right here in Middlesbrough. Whether you’ve stumbled into leadership or see it ahead, you’ll gain practical steps to lead intentionally - even if it all started by accident.
Charity
This month we have chosen to support the amazing MFC Foundation - you can learn more about what they do in the Teesside Community via visting their website.
Every penny you donate will go to them. We'll even be covering the platform fees taken by Tito and Stripe to make sure they get the biggest donation possible!
