Coffee Break

Let’s Test is the first context-driven school of software testing conference in Europe. It was held 7-9 May in Åkersberga. Over 150 participants from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Lathvia, Germany, UK, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, USA, Canada and Australia participated. Famous speakers, like Michael Bolton, Rob Sabourin and Scott Barbour, held presentations, sessions and workshops. The intended and invited audience were every tester that already is dedicated or just interested to learn more about the context-driven school of testing.

The conference was divided into keynote, tutorials, like workshops, where everybody were supposed to contribute as well as learn and sessions in smaller groups.

The market will change and this will mean that opportunities will arise and positions will be up for grabs. Providing this upcoming market with a good smart device adapted to local circumstances might replicate the success of the likes of WalMart or IKEA. Low cost, working, aimed at the masses.

Facebook and Google are already prepared and going all in. Facebook by using it’s momentum and Google by it’s low cost/free position, they have a good chance to continue their ad revenue hunt. But what about Apple?

I torsdags och fredags intogs Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center av cirka 1200 glada, passionerade och kunniga människor inom IT, webb, e-handel och många andra områden för Webbdagarna.

Internetworlds chefredaktör Magnus Höij (@magnushoij) välkomnade alla efter ett maffigt videointro och rullade igång en tillställning som förutom lite struligt WiFi inte kan beskrivas som något annat än en stor succé.

Jag var lyckligtvis på plats och sög upp så mycket som möjligt av de visioner, diskussioner, debatter och oneliners som dök upp både på scen och i Twittersfären (#webbdagarna). Det finns tyvärr alldeles för mycket att nämna men här är det som jag fann mest intressant.

Att göra bra skit och göra dålig skit

I dagens mediaklimat går det inte längre att fly från dålig skit man gör som företag. Det togs upp av Joakim Jardenberg (@jocke) från Mindpark som betonade vikten av att göra bra skit när han avslutade Webbdagarna i fredags.
