Come join us at one of the first conferences in Central Africa to teach developpers the Java programming and the basics of developing on mobile platforms.
Given that a large majority of people on the continent of Africa have access to the Internet via their mobile phones, it was difficult to ignore the mobile applications and especially the Web2.0.
We are looking for speakers (great if french speaking) on Web 2.0 and Mobile phone application. If you would like to speak please send us an email with an abstract of your presentation(s), your bio (including picture), and your polo shirt size to : info AT congojug dot com.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Robert KrzaczyńskiPair programming and continuous integration can go hand-in-hand. Pushing to main multiple times a day is hard in isolation, leading to delays, large PRs, and merge issues, Ola Hast and Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom mentioned in their talk about continuous delivery with pair programming at QCon London. Pairing enables instant code review, easier refactoring, fewer bugs, and higher team resilience.
