Codemotion, day hi-tech alternative to the digital culture

ROME - Some people will remember the Javaday. For four years, the hi-tech day organized by the University Roma Tre was a very special event, unique in Italy for sophistication of content within the digital life of our times. Languages, technologies, programming. But everyday elements, applications for everyday life, employment opportunities.

Javaday has changed its name, is now Codemotion, combining the English words "code" and "emotion". An opportunity for all, with free admission, to cross the galaxy of digital life today and tomorrow, with a little 'nostalgia for the 80s. The program is a Codemotion marathon technology, with more than 65 operations in 7 distributed parallel programming sessions and a workshop focusing on "Mobile", the key issue for today's technology.

At the heart of all there is of course the Internet, viewed from the technical, but frequently the user experience. A Codemotion we will discuss the new web standards like HTML 5, we will discuss Twitter and how to evolve their use. There will be room to discuss game development, a business that always requires incredible talent, and that in Italy is still underdeveloped.

A particular focus will step in creating applications for mobile platforms, one of the beating hearts of the technology industry today. The focus will also fall on Codemotion of free Os, such as Android, and of course the Linux architecture. Intention of the organizers, the purpose of Codemotion is to "encourage the community to create better software that can better withstand the inevitable impact of time." There is also an emotional component.

The philosophy of Codemotion includes also an attempt to excite the participants, something that too often the technology can not do. Something that can be heard in the video promo of the event, which combines two technological myths of the past, Apple and Commodore. Not a leap into nostalgia, but a way to understand that technology is not just electronics: it is a basic component of our being contemporary.

Thus, in the event the project, the "talk" does not pretend to teach, but to facilitate the subsequent process of learning. Without excluding a possible economic impact: participants will be able to deliver the curriculum vitae sponsors to open the possibility of new opportunities.
