bsidian Systems, a leading provider of
Open Source technology, has confirmed
its platinum sponsorship of DevConf ZA
2019. The event, taking place in Cape
Town on March 26 and Johannesburg on
March 28, has been organised to provide
software developers with the tools, practices
and principles required to address existing
and emerging challenges within the South
African software development environment.
It is an established forum to empower
software developers with insight into
the latest technologies and trends, as
well as pragmatic advice on how best to
handle the challenges of working in large
enterprise systems.
He will provide visitors to the Forum in
Bryanston, Johannesburg an insight
into a new way of tracking, storing
and accessing data across multiple
devices, applications and platforms on
February 12. With 90% of the world’s
data generated in the last two years
and many forward-thinking enterprises
migrating workloads to the public
cloud, companies face ever-increasing
challenges to guard against
security incidents, data breaches and
hardware failures.
Among the speakers lined up for the event
is Clifford de Wit, CTO and co-founder of
Dexterity Digital, a new digital business
within the Metrofile group. He will present on
the age of the modern developer.
Karl Fisher, DevOps lead at Obsidian Systems,
will present a discussion at the event entitled
‘Where Test-driven development and
infrastructure as code have a love child’.
“Using test-driven techniques, we can
create and implement reliable, repeatable
infrastructure,” said Fischer.
Topics on the agenda include cloud, the art of
developer maintenance, mob programming
and programming for accessibility. For more
