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.
What's new :
JCertif Conf (1 day):

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.

Configuration has evolved from static deployment files into a live control plane that directly shapes system behavior. The evolution of configuration management highlights why misconfigurations can trigger large outages and how hyperscalers deploy changes safely using staged rollouts, validation, blast radius limits, and automated rollback at scale.

The 2025 State of JavaScript survey reveals a maturing ecosystem with TypeScript's dominance solidified—40% of developers use it exclusively. Vite surges in build tools with a 98% satisfaction rate, while React remains the top framework amidst mixed feedback. AI-assisted development grows notably, and Node.js stays dominant. Overall, developer satisfaction stabilizes at 3.8/5.

Morgan Stanley engineers Jim Gough and Andreea Niculcea showed how they're retooling the bank's API program for AI agents using MCP and FINOS CALM. Live demos covered compliance guardrails, deployment gates, and zero-downtime rollouts across 100+ APIs. First API deployment shrank from two years to two weeks. They also demoed Google's A2A protocol running alongside MCP.

You can find your way through an organization by figuring out what artifacts people leave behind, David Grizzanti mentioned at InfoQ Dev Summit Boston. He compared culture to anthropology, suggested studying behaviors, power dynamics, and decisions first, and then patiently model and reward new norms, build allies, and use influence and leading by example, to shift engineering culture over time.
