We’re collaborating with market-leaders Street Group, to host our 12th Social Code x Manchester event! Our sponsors successfully pair the &#x27;UK’s leading estate agency talent with tomorrow’s technology.&#x27; 🤩 The SocialCode is an inclusive event aimed at all of those with an interest in software development - whether you&#x27;re a seasoned veteran or just starting out, you are more than welcome to join us. We&#x27;ve got some incredible speakers, who are renowned in the North West tech scene, lined-up to discuss a range of refreshing topics – (check out their full bios below 👇). There’s going to be interesting conversations around how psychological safety can impact teams, in what way observability can provide a better understanding across the organisation, and how using TypeScript and the Jest testing framework helps to influence coding. 💡 The SocialCode events provide a great opportunity to learn and network with like-minded local techies with complimentary drinks and goodies. 🍻 What’s more, if you can’t attend this event in person, you can watch it via a Zoom live stream.

This talk will dive into the concept in a bit more detail - where did it originate, how do you recognise it, what are the effects on your teams, and how do you go about improving it? This talk is designed for developers, managers, and anyone interested in fostering high-performing, inclusive teams within the tech industry. Ideally, you’ll come away with some actions you can take to measure and improve the level of trust in your teams. Toli Apostolidis - Head of Engineering Practice at Cinch: ‘A Culture of Observing: Understanding Organisations Through Observability’’ For years testable systems have helped us amplify flow, feedback, learning and experimentation. However, this still doesn’t enhance our understanding of the health of our business transactions in production. Observability is the missing piece of the puzzle that will finally shift our attention right: to understand the systems that matter. Software systems are becoming increasingly more observable by the people who build the systems themselves. Observable systems democratise the understanding of systems where Analytics and Data have fallen short. Steve Atkinson - Senior Software Engineer at Clock: ‘Building and testing with TypeScript’ Unit testing codes help to build up documentation on the expected behavior of code. It also helps to break down functionality into bitesize chunks that are easy to understand. This talk aims to show you how Steve builds a suite of tests using TypeScript and the Jest testing framework, and how it helps to influence how codes are written.
