I'll be on the beautiful island of Mauritius to present on this new documentation tool I've been experimenting with and how you can use it for your projects.

Both event stores and blockchain offer technology that creates a constantly appending log of immutable data, so how are they different? In this presentation I'll be on the beautiful island of Mauritius to take a look.

I'll be attending the Katapult Future fest in Oslo to what we in the tech industry can do to help the public like and trust us again. I'll also appear on a panel or two.

I'm attending the preeminent conference for documenentarians in the US, I hope meet you there and talk about all sorts of interesting topics.

I'm visiting wonderful New Orleans for the glorious Collision Conf, I'm sure there will be a lot of fun to be had and I hope to see you there.

Bosch ConnectedWorld's purpose is to provide the inspiration, education, and connections you need to thrive in IoT. This February, we will host more than 140 speakers on four stages presenting IoT trends and implementations in front of more than 3,500 conference and hackathon participants. Through inspiring keynotes, three session tracks, a huge IoT exhibition, a Meet Up stage, a hackathon, and a lot networking opportunities, you will learn how the Bosch ConnectedWorld experience, and especially IoT, is truly remarkable.

Backend/frontend developers, product owners, product managers, UX experts in Germany! If you're planning to participate in the Bosch ConnectedExperience (BCX) two-day Internet of Things (IoT) hackathon, then also mark your calendar to attend the “Investor Tea Time Pitch” which will be hosted by Robert Bosch Venture Capital. You'll get to see selected IoT startups pitch their projects to invited investors and then you'll also be able to network with those investors and startups.

As programmers, designers, writers and those who pursue 'creative' pursuits we consider ourselves mostly immune to the predicted forthcoming robot invasion of our jobs. But should we be so confident? A recent tool released to tell you the percentage chance of robots taking your job set the percentage at 89% for technical writers. Scary news. In this presentation I will take a forward look at the ways that our roles may change and what we can do about it, covering topics such as: - Automatic writing and code generation. - Outsourcing and undercutting. - The 'devaluation' of programming knowledge. - New Luddites and the rejection of technology. I promise to make you smile along the way 😁.
