JuniorDev Auckland Meet

We are excited to announce the next JuniorDev Auckland event!

Join us to hear from our speakers!

Talk 1: “Lessons learnt with the modern data stack” by Kim Fitter

This talk will be sharing some lessons learnt from working in the “modern data stack” for anyone interested in working as an engineer in analytics.

Talk 2: "Why Junior Devs should know about Cloud Computing and where to start in AWS" by Suzana Melo Moraes

Once you choose a technology life, Cloud is inevitable!
As a software developer, you will likely bump into some cloud product at some point in your journey. Suzana will cover some main concepts of Cloud and Cloud Computing, why you should learn about this crucial area and where to start in AWS (or any other cloud provider), including some of the essential products to be aware of as a junior developer.
Even if you just graduated and want to know more about the options around you or a junior developer who wants to upskill but doesn't know where to start in Cloud, this talk is for you!
