#1 India’s Millennials in Technology: High Maintenance or the Future by Shail Maniar

Every day we hear how automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, virtual reality and other new technologies are taking over jobs across the globe. In this talk, we will share insights on how millennials are responding to the influx of next-gen technologies with respect to their careers. This will be based on the actual data collected from millennials who are getting ready to be employed and those currently working in India’s technology industry. We will also raise some debatable questions around meeting millennial expectations, re-training the millennial workforce for the new economy and what skills/roles the engineering community should focus on in the future.

#2 Wearables and the Future of Mobile Applications by Priya Dhandapani

Wearable technology has emerged as one of the fastest growing segments in the high-tech market and is becoming ubiquitous with the young and old generations. It is already offering applications for consumers, businesses, emergency services and military users. In this talk, we will give you a brief overview of the applications of wearable technology in enterprise space and how wearables will influence the future of mobile application development.

#3 ‘Code Quality’ – the Forgotten Saga by Monish Matthias and Shekhar Manjargi

Most technology teams invest a lot of time and rightfully on the architecture, design, deployment strategy, velocity and quality. The most commonly neglected factor is the ‘code quality’ and the focus on the reduction of ‘technical debt’ of the application. Both the factors have a direct co-relation to the stability, reliability, maintainability & quality. In this talk, we take you on the journey of the best practices of code quality, usage of commonly available tools that can be leveraged, tweaks and custom code that can be written to have meaningful reports, check gates, mechanisms to proactively catch, dispatch and fix code quality related issues. We will walk you through sample reports, flow charts and prescriptive recommendations on what you can take back to your workplace to reduce your technical debt and have a watch over the code quality.
