Shift APPens is a Hackathon organized with love by NEI/AAC (Informatics Students Nucleus from Academic Association of Coimbra) and by jeKnowledge (Faculty of Sciences and Technology of University of Coimbra’s Junior Enterprise), that brings students and workers from all over the country to the city of Coimbra. Participants have 48 hours to create an application, defending it in a final pitch, in front of a carefully chosen jury. We aim to promote healthy competition and exchange knowledge from the tech world amongst the participants, all in a relaxed environment. We gather developers, designers, and entrepreneurs of different technological fields, from every corner of the country. Get ready for an amazing competition with lots of entertainment and many surprises! All we need is your presence! Bring your friends or co-workers and witness one of the most fun events of the year.
After a very special remote edition, Shift APPens is back to its regular format and better than ever! Be ready for more fun, games and many surprises.
This year, due to the ongoing pandemic, we will take cauteous measures to ensure the safety of our participants and staff. There will be strict rules that everyone must follow to make sure the event runs as smooth as possible, without any health hazards.

What if I told you my day as mobile developer is not just coding? (pffff sometimes not coding at all) Why? we are project managers, architects, designers, QAs... and “so most more”. Choosing the right methodology, right team and right tools makes our life easier. So I will try to show what I do, from starting a feature to daily things, and what are the problems I faced between projects.

O teletrabalho é já o presente de cada vez mais pessoas no mundo, levando-as a enfrentarem desafios de comunicação de forma consistente. À medida que mais e mais interações acontecem digitalmente, continuaremos a experimentar novas formas de falhas de comunicação e mal-entendidos. A solução está na construção de um conjunto de competências que reflitam as exigências da nossa era digital. Acompanha-me numa breve discussão sobre uma realidade que poderá (provavelmente) ser a tua.
