Are you eager to start putting the theory into practice?

Imagine you could...

• spend a week getting tips and tricks from experienced software engineers; 
  
• learn from each other and share ideas in an informal setting;
  
• actually experience how companies put into practice what you are currently learning;
  
• pick up on the latest trends in software development;
  
• get this all for free(*).

Sounds too good to be true, right?

Barco and delaware team up with computer science professors of the universities of Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels. Together we create a free and exclusive program full of innovative and boundary breaking topics!

Did we spark your enthusiasm? Excellent!

Join us on our ‘Software Engineering study trip’, get great insights and learn from the best.

Only thing left for you to do is: apply, bring your laptop along and don’t forget your toothbrush (and teddy bear for the tender souls amongst us)

What?

A study trip, packed with seminars, labs, excellent networking opportunities, hackjams… and lots of fun, food, and drinks of course!

When?

Monday 5 February to Friday 9 February 2018

Where?

Lyon, France

For whom? 

For senior Belgian master students in Computer Sciences, with software development and engineering running through their veins.

By whom?

The study trip is powered by Barco and delaware. We believe that preparing students for the next steps in their career is not only the responsibility of universities. That’s why we want to work shoulder to shoulder with the academic world – and with you of course.

Program:

 The study trip offers 3 full-day tracks combining theoretical information and hands-on sessions on Machine learning, Continuous integration and Microservices.

• Track 1: Machine Learning and AI
  

Exploring machine learning, big data technologies and A.I. through 2 hands-on sessions: “Machine Learning for Computer Vision” and “Predicting train occupancy in Belgium”. This track will offer you a peak into 2 different machine learning stacks. 

• Track 2 : Quality and continuous integration
  

A rough guide to the exciting world of test automation, continuous delivery, and infrastructure-as-code,  highlighting some research findings that support the view that these DevOps practices are definitely here to stay.  Together we will turn one of your pet projects into production ready code by setting up automated testing, continuous integration and automated deployment through a Microsoft and an open source toolchain. 

• Track 3: Microservices
  

Introducing you to the latest means for realizing resilience and elasticity in cloud applications and illustrate patterns of concurrent and distributed programming. You will get insight into the concerns of a distributed architecture based on real life Azure and AWS projects and get a taste of Akka and Docker.

Speakers and lab coaches will include: Prof. Dr. Erik Mannens (Ugent), Prof. Dr. Coen De Roover (VUB),  Wim Meerschman (Lead Expert – delaware), Karel Moens (Research Engineer- Barco), Dieter De Witte (Ugent), Baptiste Hanssens (Research Engineer - Barco), Wouter Devinck (Software Engineer - Barco),  etc.
