O primeiro encontro das Geek Girls Portugal no Algarve em 2024 vai ser nas instalações da Turbine Kreuzberg em Faro no dia 15 de Maio! Neste encontro vamos conhecer a Rita Pacheco, que nos vai falar um pouco do seu percurso profissional e do seu papel como QA em Quality Assurance. Sobre a talk: "Quando integramos uma equipa de desenvolvimento de software que trabalha com a metodologia Agile, o QA representa uma peça fundamental na garantia de qualidade da entrega do produto final. A responsabilidade vai além da deteção de Bugs, acabando por ser muitas vezes o desbloqueador de obstáculos que se vão encontrando ao longo das sprints, facilitando a comunicação e o entendimento do que é pretendido com uma visão 360º do projecto final." A nossa segunda oradora chama-se Ana Picoito e a sua apresentação vai-se focar no Storyblok, uma ferramenta que nos ajuda a delegar decisões de design enquanto developers focam naquilo que realmente amam: programação. Sobre a talk: "Imagina: Queres construir um site, mas sofres de paralisia de decisão e estás preso há 3 semanas a tentar decidir sobre a paleta de cores ou a melhor font. Apresento-te o Storyblok, a ferramenta que nos ajuda a delegar essa responsabilidade para outra pessoa e a focar no que amamos: programar." Como sempre, a inscrição é gratuita mas com vagas limitadas. Então, não percas a tua vaga! _________________________________________________________________________ Agenda 18h00 – Bebidas e petiscos de boas-vindas 18h30 - Apresentação das Geek Girls Portugal 18h45 - "Quality Assurance: Uma visão integrada do papel de QA em metodologias Agile" - Rita Pacheco 19h15 - "Storyblok: My frontend wingman" - Ana Picoito 19h45 - Apresentação da Turbine Kreuzberg 20h00 - Networking / Encerramento Nota: Todas as apresentações serão em português!
