TALK JEROEN HEIJMANS - '' The Essential Soft Skills in Tech ''
Honing secondary skills is the second-best way to become better at your primary job — and quite possibly the most *effective* one! I will argue that focusing on certain non-tech skills is often the best thing you could possibly do to become better at your tech job.

In this presentation we will go through the essential soft skills for folks in tech. We'll discuss why they are that important, what you can do to improve at them, and how they will effectively improve your primary skills!

TALK SANDER TEN BRINKE - '' From manual to automatic: Using OpenAPI to generate production-ready API clients ''
Are you tired of spending hours creating API clients and updating them every time the API changes?

In this session, you'll learn how to streamline your API development process with OpenAPI and code generation tools. We'll discuss how these tools can automate the process of generating production-ready API clients and how they can save you valuable time and effort. You'll discover the many benefits of this approach, including improved code reusability, more consistent API development and more.

By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to leverage OpenAPI and code generation tools in your projects and take your API development to the next level!

The following topics will be discussed:

- The problems with building API and API clients
- An extensive introduction to OpenAPI and useful tooling
