We're back for our first Macc Tech at Blue Beck in Macclesfield.

Join us for a series of talks and a chance to meet, mingle and share ideas, with refreshments provided.

 

Presentations:

Observations on the Tester and Developer Relationship - Richard Bradshaw

Developers and Testers. Friends or foes? The same but with different job titles? One better than the other? Equal? I’m not going to answer any of those questions. Instead, I’m going to share some common observations I’ve made throughout my career about this fantastic pairing. These observations will be delivered in a light-hearted manner but contain real observations and how to combat them or maximise them!

 

Nibbles to Bytes-Games to Apps in just 30 years - Pete Scott

Why would someone who loves video games do apps? I have been running software companies for nearly 30 years; how did I get here?

 

Our hosts Blue Beck will be providing complimentary refreshments and catering.
