Developer Conference 8-12 Nov 2010, Malmö, Sweden
Track overview
Tuesday: NoSQL Day
Track: Xtra(ck)
Always nice to have a little Xtra fun! We admit it: we have a kick-ass program. But Øredev also arranges all the parts that let you enjoy, re-energize, even relax while you learn. It also makes for better, easier network building. This year we boost the fun with a bonus activities track – the Xtra(ck) – running in parallel.
Wednesday
10:15 - 11:05
Take Control of Your Development Career
As developers, we tend to spend a lot of time focused on languages, frameworks, and tools. But few of us spend time thinking about our careers or personal growth. Michael talks about simple things you can do today that pay off in a big way tomorrow. Take control of your Development Career. Be the developer you wanted to be. It is easier than you might think.
Michael "Doc" Norton
Michael Norton (doc) partner with LeanDog out of Cleveland, OH where he is an Agile Coach and Activist. Michael's experience covers a wide range of development and project management topics. Michael declares expertise in no single language or methodology and is immediately suspicious of anyone who declares such expertise.
11:20 - 12:10
Understanding hypnosis
Lina will explain to you how the mind works according to the study of hypnosis. You will come to understand why hypnosis is safe and will not in anyway make you do things that you do not want to do. She will also briefly tell you why people have their own personalities, habits and behaviors and why is it so difficult for some people to change for the better. And also what does hypnosis have to do with everyday life and how it can be a useful tool for everyone
Lina Esa
Lina is a hypnotherapist and a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. She will take you into a nice hypnotic stress free state in her session. But first she wants to explain to you that Hypnosis is NOT mind control and will definitely NOT make you bark (unless you want to)!
13:10 - 14:00
From seed to cup
Ever wonder how it all happens? Mattias Sjöbäck will take you on the coffee journey "from seed to cup," with a special focus on the workers involved (pickers, farmers...). With description and real images from farms, drying mills, wet mills, the roasting process and so on, you'll be entertained and gain a clearer sense of the life of a coffee farmer, picker and roaster. You'll also get to know the difference between regular coffee and excellent coffee.
Mattias Sjöbäck
Mattias Sjöbäck is a self-professed “coffee nerd,” but with a rich depth of experience as a practitioner. He’s a professional coffee connaisseur, occasionally making guest appearances as a premium coffee missionary! “I want to explain, educate everyone on and even politicize the difference between just coffee and real coffee – in terms of its taste, origin, ecology, sustainability, transparency and trade conditions.”
14:15 - 15:05
Photographic Composition and Creativity
Bring a camera (your phone will do, if it’s got a camera)! What is it about a photo that you like and why? In this workshop, we’ll discuss what makes an image appealing and motivate each other to expand creative boundaries. Expect some small, but fun, assignments!

Using voice and body to become a more effective and relaxed public speaker
During this session, we will concentrate on becoming more efficacious public speakers via body language, breathing and relaxation exercises. It’s gonna be fun. And we might play games. I’m excited.
