Trondheim Developer Conference 2018 – One day, three talks and many happy moments

I just got back from Trondheim, Norway where I once again spoke at the Trondheim Developer Conference. The last time I spoke there four years ago and I had a great time and I have to say nothing changed – it is still a conference well worth going to.

I was pretty impressed to see that the conference videos were available the day after the event, so I am happy to give you all the materials of my participation and some of the things that impressed me.

The keynote: Watch this space

In this keynote I am talking about protecting the open web as a publishing platform by improving the quality of our work. We’ve accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years, and yet it seems new developers always start from scratch. By making our best practices part of the start of your career and embedding them in tools, we can have a new generation of developers who can invent amazing things that don’t break.

Christian Heilmann hates conference apps. We don't have an app at [#tdconf18](https://twitter.com/hashtag/tdconf18?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), [@codepo8](https://twitter.com/codepo8?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ? program at our webpage [https://t.co/0qYVEem321](https://t.co/0qYVEem321)

I will write a bigger post about this soom

Planning for next year

One great side note: the organisers asked me about more female Europe-based speakers to invite so I collected a few in a tweet.

I got asked if I know tech speakers in Europe that aren't men. Here's a quick collection of people I follow and admire in no certain order. 1/2[@simona_cotin](https://twitter.com/simona_cotin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@carolstran](https://twitter.com/carolstran?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@pati_gallardo](https://twitter.com/pati_gallardo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@EmmaWedekind](https://twitter.com/EmmaWedekind?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@NadiehBremer](https://twitter.com/NadiehBremer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@Maggysche](https://twitter.com/Maggysche?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@mirjam_diala](https://twitter.com/mirjam_diala?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@AnaCidre_](https://twitter.com/AnaCidre_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@ThisIsJoFrank](https://twitter.com/ThisIsJoFrank?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@TessFerrandez](https://twitter.com/TessFerrandez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
