Bringing good news for the tech community: the I T.A.K.E. Unconference comes back with the 7th edition on the 7th of April 2020.
With so many events canceled this Spring, we’ve decided the time came to innovate and change the format once more in order to answer to today’s needs and challenges.
As firm believers in continuous improvement, we plan to overcome the barriers that might restrict learning in this period. How we plan to do that? By going online and bringing you international speakers and top-notch practitioners in the comfort of your own office or home.
How is the 7th edition of I TAKE Unconference special?
- Focus is placed upon new innovative approaches to modular architecture
- Brings together international speakers and top-notch professionals from Europe, the USA and all over the world
- The sessions include practical examples with the latest techniques applied in various environments, programming languages & technologies
- Fast-paced, dynamic learning atmosphere
- Overcoming travel challenges of this Spring
We invite you to discover more on Modular Architecture in the Age of Cloud Computing – this edition’s topic.
Want to be part of this not-to-miss event? You are welcome to join our group of supporters and partners and bring innovation one step further. Just let us know and we can make it happen.
Let’s continue sharing knowledge by preserving the feeling of a community of peers who learn together.
Developers are not computers
Enjoy the following series of interviews with the speakers, top-notch software crafters from across Europe, joining I T.A.K.E Unconference, Bucharest, 11-12 May. Discover the lessons learned and what drives them to challenge the known path in their field.
Csaba Patkos, Team Lead Syneto, is a technical practitioner with 15 years of experience in the field. Joining #itakeunconf 2017 as speaker, he will share more in his talk about his experience of growing up as a team leader, mentor, and coach for the team he works with daily.
#1. Please share with us 5 things you did that helped you grow & become the professional you are today
- Reading … I mean a lot. 40-50 books / year are doable. They can mix in a few novels / literature as well.
- Made plans and fought to achieve them. Think about where you want to be in 6 months or 1 year and define the steps you need to take to get there.
- I love programming and software engineering. I do it daily, with dedication.
- Built some useful daily habits that are helping me to get better. For example listen to audio books when driving, daily reading, daily plan of work, etc.
- Talked to the people I admire and I used these talks as sources of inspiration. So, don’t be afraid to approach your professional idols, they are people just like you.
#2. What challenges will the participants find solutions to during your session at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2017?
√ Some people just won’t listen to you.
√ Some people just want to force their ideas on you.
√ Some people don’t care about the topic, they just pick fights with you.
√ Some people think you don’t care, even though you really do.
√ Other communication issues.
#3. Recommend for the participants 3 sources you find inspiration from and would help them better understand you

Docker & Zero Downtime Deployment rules
#1. Share with us 5 things you did that helped you grow & become the professional you are today
- Read and try stuff
- Be part of the software community
- Ask questions
- Coding outside the work (side projects, open source contributions, etc.)
- Learn by teaching (speaking at conferences, writing blogs posts, etc.)
#2. What challenges will the participants find solutions to during your session at I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016?
Both of my talks are overcoming the challenges of modern software products. Zero-downtime deployment session will empathize on the possibility of always-up systems and making continuous deployment more adoptable. There are a few things to watch out on this space and I am hoping to highlight on that by giving examples and demos on my real world experiences.
The docker session will get you a higher level on how a tool can make a difference on developing and releasing products, in this case microservices.
#3. What else would you like to share with participants
I like to be part of the software community. So, I produce a lot. You can follow my activity on my blog and GitHub account.
I love traveling and discovering new places. I am a huge Formula 1 fan.

How we did it: The Story of a Website with Andreas Leidig
Andreas Leidig has broad experience in object oriented software development and agile practices. He started programming years ago with Smalltalk and worked as an agile coach for a few years. Nowadays he is working full-time in developing enterprise software products.
His talk is about how to set up a community project through a professional use of state-of-the-art technologies and collaboration methods: node.js, continuous integration, github, javascript, evolving design, noSql, testing, software craftsmanship, XP. A fly through the architecture, design and specific aspects of their product.
