Week 2 Calendar Week 41 Oct 11 - 15 |
Topic Owner: DJ Adams When discovering and learning about any new technical topic, whether an SAP specific one, or a more general computing topic, there is always so much to read, so much to delve into. As well as trying to work out what's relevant, what will get you started, it's also useful to know what's considered good practice, and (implicitly) what patterns and approaches to avoid. In this Devtoberfest week we have the chance to think about best practices in three main areas:
We have speakers from whom we can learn, speakers who are experts in these areas and indeed are product owners or developers. We also have a special guest who will give us some important and inspiring insights into best practices when it comes to cloud and the cloud-native destination towards which we're all traveling in our own ways.
