Celebrating

Software development

Joy of Coding is a one-day single-track conference held in Rotterdam. We bring internationally renowned speakers to Rotterdam to deliver talks. They cover diverse aspects of the craft, reflecting recent trends in industry and academia, as well as a serious amount of joy.

It's affordable

Joy of Coding is a non-profit event. With the help of our sponsors we keep registration fees low to provide the best value-for-money conference of 2024, just like our previous editions!

It's by dev, for devs

Joy of Coding is organised by a bunch of developers. There is no commercial agenda, 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.

Venue

Joy of Coding 2024 will take place in De Doelen, a concert venue and convention center in Rotterdam. Although mainly known as a venue for classical music and jazz, it is also a superb conference location. The monumental building is located right in front of the Rotterdam Centraal train station.

Arthur fell in love with computers and code as a kid and has been privileged enough to turn that love into a career. Bounced around in academia as a programmer and assistant professor for a while, and now works at Nedap, where he gets to code, architect and teach.

Eline Brader, MSc.

Eline got a bachelor and master’s degree in food technology. With noob level knowledge on programming languages after graduation, Eline was able to fulfil her desire to program on a fulltime basis thanks to Nedap University. Since May 2022, she is a fulltime backend software developer in team OpenEHR at Nedap Healthcare. Her long-term dream would be to become a full stack developer. People would call her crazy for working every day of the week but her response would be: “My job is my hobby and my hobby is my job”.
