Clean Code Workshop
The extremely popular "Clean Code Workshop" is finally returning to ITU, October 12, 15:00 - 18:00 @ Scrollbar, as a part of ITU Career Weeks.

Reading and understanding code that others have made can be difficult. Even reading your own code after a while can be impossible. So how do you ensure that your code is understandable for others?

Former ITU students working at Netcompany experienced how working in ”the real world” was different than working at assignments and projects during their studies. They quickly learned the importance of being able to write clean, understandable, and consistent code when you are part of a team. This is a skill that is essential for anyone working with code, and we are therefore offering a Clean Code Workshop in collaboration with Netcompany. 

The last time we held this workshop all places were fully booked and with a long waiting list, so make sure you sign up today to secure your spot.
 
Ethnographies of Urban Data and Technology
ITU is hosting the Ethnographies of Urban Data and Technology Conference October 20-21.

The presentations focus on the ways urban data and technologies are practically used and deployed by actors within various professions working with urban space, and on how people understand and inhabit environments that are shaped through such data and technologies.

The conference is open to everyone 
You can no longer buy tickets, but if you want to participate, please send an e-mail to luil@itu.dk.
