Rotterdam (NL)

A one-day conference that celebrates the art, craft, science but foremost the joy of software development

Come to

Learn, find inspiration, play, improve your craft. Learn about new and emerging technologies. Get inspired by renowned international speakers. Pair with fellow passionate developers in one of the hands-on (un)sessions.

It's affordable

Joy of Coding is a non-profit event. With the help of our sponsors we aimed to keep registration fees as low as possible to provide the best value-for-money conference that you will go to in 2013.

It's for developers

This conference is organised by a bunch of developers. There is no commercial agenda, it's based purely on stuff that developers, like ourselves, would like to see. Expert speakers but no talking heads.
