Technify-Africa, a community of software engineers and engineering managers from Africa in the US and Europe, is organizing a free online developers conference for African developers to help boost the tech scene and give back home.

I really like the topics, and I thought this might be useful to programmers.


TRACK 1: SIMPLE STEPS TO IMPROVE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ITERATION WITH DATA

Even if you've never heard the term "iterative development," chances are you've participated in an iterative development process at a software company at some point. Google and other high-performing tech companies, for example, develop and release new features almost on a daily basis, employing an agile and continuous development process to streamline the launch and deployment of each of their products.
What if you could leverage data to improve product development? This talk will teach you how to improve product development iteratively with data.
TRACK 2: TECHNIQUES FOR BUILDING QUALITY INTO SOFTWARE FROM DAY 1


There is always a bug or a feature that isn’t working properly. We sometimes spend hours putting out fires in production environments every week. There is always something that breaks, a bug that needs to be fixed, or a feature that isn't working properly. Sometimes it feels like we're just treading water and not getting better at what we do – building software. This will be familiar if you are an engineer or a project manager at a startup. What if they are methods you can employ to build quality into software from day 1?
This talk will teach you techniques and practices for building quality into software from the start, as well as how to spend less time fixing bugs.
