Last week I was in Oslo to attend the NDC conference. I cannot really believe that this was already the 10th NDC Oslo I attended. With 2’600 attendees it was the biggest NDC event ever, but at least for me not the best. Practical Clean Architecture workshop with Jason Taylor I started my NDC …
Back in Oslo at last. After an online edition of NDC Oslo in 2020 and the travel restrictions at the start of the Omicron wave in 2021, I haven’t been to Oslo for a while. Visiting in September is in many ways different from June. It is colder, and it gets dark early (around 7 …

I had the great opportunity to speak at this year’s NDC Oslo to share my ideas of how we can improve our continuous learning. A topic I find most important, not just for software developers, but for all knowledge workers. You can find the slides of my talk at Speaker Deck: The recording of my …
The 10th edition of the NDC (Norwegian Developers Conference) in Oslo was the best I ever attended. Kjersti and her team made everyone welcome and created a friendly and familiarly atmosphere.

This year more than 1’900 attendees from over 50 countries attended a well-organized conference and turned it in a great …
