Communities of Practice: Software Engineering & Development

Join fellow developers and engineers from across the Island at our first meet-up, as part of the Software Engineering & Development CoP!
About this Event

Software Engineering & Development Community of Practice

This CoP exists to unite software engineers, developers, and those with a professional interest in the sector from across the Isle of Man. A shared space to exchange expertise, develop unique skills, and collaborate on the opportunities shaping the ever-evolving world of software engineering.

What to expect

Each session is designed to foster a strong, connected community of developers on the Island - encouraging the sharing of ideas, experiences, use cases and best practices in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Sessions will span a range of topics, from AI and geolocation to code analysis and diagramming - with each meet-up centred around a different theme, so there's always something new to explore and take away!

Experienced engineers will also have the opportunity to lead future sessions and Q&As, making this a community shaped by the people within the sector in the Island.

This Month's Theme

Using a deliberately "nightmare" piece of code, this interactive session explores how developers can approach large, complex software systems that are suffering from technical debt.

Together, attendees will examine the different strategies developers often consider, from asking AI for help and consulting experienced colleagues, to working around the problem or taking a structured analytical approach.

Date: Wednesday 8 July

Time: 13:00 pm - 14:00 pm

Location: Launchpad, Hillary House, Douglas

Session Focus: Code Analysis

Who should attend?

Whether you're a professional software engineer, a developer, a tech enthusiast, or simply keen to learn more about the sector - this community is for you. Come along, get involved, and help shape what this CoP becomes.
