It’s by devs,
for devs!


Joy of Coding is organised by a bunch of developers on a non-profit basis. There is no commercial agenda (no sponsored content), the schedule is purely based on stuff that developers, like us, love to see. Expert speakers but no talking heads. A place where we can all get together and talk about code.
