About the lectures

--------------------------

High tech standup

A short standup session laghing about the situations we see in the Israeli high-tech.

🎤 Alon Alush, a code wizard and a standup comedian who's equally skilled at making you laugh and crafting software magic.

Get your next job by Open-source

The biggest problem of a junior trying to land his first job is the "chicken and the egg" paradox - companies want a developer with experience but the developer needs somebody to hire them to gain that experience.

In this talk we will discuss how to use open-source contributions and your public facing github to prove your experience and break this paradox. After hiring hundreds of juniors I'll share what I'm looking for when I look at GitHub page and how juniors where able to impress me with their open-source contributions and projects.

🎤 Lior Kesos, CTO at HOSSTED (Enterprise Grade Maturity for Open-source Community Editions)
