JDPx Sydney is back, and back with a vengeance. Kicking off 2017 with the topic; ‘Coding only gets you so far; the soft-skills no one warns you about needing.'

There are a vast range of different personalities in any dev team; those who like to communicate, those who don’t, leaders, do-ers and those more concerned around title than getting the job done. The question is, would a head of technology prefer someone in their team with great soft skills, over someone technically brilliant with their headphones in all day?

Some of the best CTO's and Heads of Development in Australia are coming together to provide an unfiltered look at everything that goes into the product development chain.

We're talking emotional intelligence, setting up of false expectation, social awareness, and dumbing down of your code to make sense to a manager who still thinks java and javascript are the same thing.

We provide the beers, the food, the setting, and the panel who have agreed (under the stipulation of no recording and that their views are not expressive of the views of their employers) to dive into to the most taboo of talking points.

Keen?
