They become overwhelmed by the e normous amount of information to learn and do not know where to start. T o rectify that\, we have a group of women speaking who can demystify som e of the tools\, jargon\, and jobs around software: \;\n \;\nPolin a Vorozheykina\, a software engineer at New Relic\, will share her exper ience entering the industry into a far more senior team of 12 engineers. She will cover useful terminology to know\, how to go about asking ques tions\, and how to begin building broad software expertise. \;\n \ ;\nAshley Puls\, a principal engineer and architect at New Relic\, will cover some useful tools and terminology engineers encounter on a daily b asis. \;\n \;\nElisa Binette\, the senior manager of Site Reliabil ity Engineering at New Relic\, will demystify some of the roles and job titles used in the technology industry. What’s a full stack\, front end \, or backend engineer? What’s a DBA? What are the key differences betw een a senior\, lead\, or engineering manager? \;\n \;\nAfterwards \, beginning engineers should better understand common technology terms and the desired skills within each role.
