JISC Developer Happiness Days
9-13 February 2009, London
Are you:
- A software developer?
- An educational software user?
- Looking to develop your coding skills?
- Interested in community collaboration?
- Want to make new contacts?
Then Developer Happiness Days is for you.
Over four intensive days we're bringing together the cream of the crop of educational software developers along with coders from other sectors, users, and technological tinkerers in an exciting new forum.
Share your skills and knowledge with the coding community in a stimulating and fun environment and come away with new skills, fresh contacts – and you might even win a prize.
The top ideas generated at the event will be documented, publicised and made available to the community.
This innovative event includes:
- Pre-event workshops with code labs to share knowledge and develop skills
- The 'developer decathlon': a two-day team coding session with prizes for the best code
- A community-building day bringing together developers based around software platforms
- Roll-your-own-event: space and time for your own community-specific event or workshop

Bridging the developer divide
Not an educational developer? Not a problem. One of the most exciting aspects of Developer Happiness Days is that it is gathering developers from a variety of sectors, both inside and outside the UK, to promote collaboration and creativity across different areas of research.
As well as teams from across the spectrum of higher education work, commercial developers are attending from a range of sectors. Providing an opportunity for public sector and commercial developers to meet and network is a key benefit of the event.
Not a developer? Again, welcome! The best code is created through collaboration with the end users and we want the people who will be testing the tools in their everyday work to have their voice heard too. And for the technophile tinkerers among you, there will be workshops to help bring everyone up to speed with the lingo.
