Soon I’ll be joining a bunch of great people from the Danish developer community and abroad at this year GOTO Conference in Aarhus next week.

I’ve been looking at the conference schedule trying to create my schedule… the line-up of international fame speakers are impressive, but I’ll go for the odd sessions to expand my horizon. During breaks I’ll discuss and share ideas with my fellow attendees – I might even skip sessions for interesting discussions in the hallways.

Here is my tentative schedule:

• Monday I’ll attend “What is value?” and “Management Myths: are we getting any better at this?” to expand my software engineering and project management skillset.
• Tuesday I’ll look at the Biiiig Data tracks and attend “Building secured, scalable, low-latency web applications with the Windows Azure Platform” and “Runaway complexity in Big Data systems… and a plan to stop it“. Hopefully I’ll be inspired how to handle the 1TB size systems; I’m working on.
• Wednesday I’ll attend the “Professional Productivity” sessions – yep… I hope to become twice as productive 🙂

Are you going to GOTO Aarhus 2012 conference October 1-3 in Aarhus, Denmark?

The conference is covers diverse software development topics like big data, augmented data, agile perspectives, JavaScript, UX, continuous delivery, mobile, cloud, languages, NoSQL, scale … so this is not a vendor specific conference where the newest technology is presented.

I prefer conferences where I get inspired… a conference where all the participants; speakers and fellow participants plant seeds in my head for new ideas and alternative approaches to solving problems.

That’s why I’m going to the GOTO Aarhus conference.
