The job market just got a lot more competitive. If you're making career moves or trying to recover from one of the many, many layoffs in recent months, the job hunt looks pretty daunting right now. As an engineering manager, Kevin Smith lets you in on what a hiring manager is looking for so you can be on the short list for that new job. We'll also have some time for Q&A and hearing from others about their experience in the job market right now.

Parking: There are a few spots to the side and rear of the building, but please *do not* park in the church parking lot. (They have a sign warning you. It’s hard to miss.) You’re welcome to park anywhere else. After 5pm, street parking is usually easy to find, especially along Magnolia Blvd.

 
 
 

Docker sounds great, but how do you make it work? What’s a container, what’s an image? How do you go from dev to production? Why would you want to? Most engineers could describe in detail why dev environments suck, why staging is terrible, and how bugs occur in production that can’t be replicated elsewhere. In this presentation I provide working examples and speak from experience setting up Dockerized environments, elucidate concepts I wish had been clear to me from the start, and explain how it all works together to eliminate pain points while giving engineers more control of the software stack. Containerization is one of the most freeing technologies to come to web development and I can show you how.
