The developer with the highest score throughout the event will win a Kindle Paperwhite.
The Device Developers' Conference is an event for developers of intelligent systems and intelligent devices, targeting engineers involved in Embedded Systems development, Software Development, Electronics Design, Enclosure Design and Manufacturing Services; it will take place at Bristol, Cambridge and Manchester on the 14th, 16th and 22nd May respectively.
The “Developers’ Challenge” is being run by PRQA, a leading company in the field of code analysis tools. PRQA’s software tools offer a close examination of C and C++ code in order to identify problems caused by language usage that is overly complex, non-portable, dangerous or difficult to maintain. Plus, its tools also provide a mechanism for coding standard enforcement and are widely used in industries such as automotive.
“We are very pleased to be supporting this important UK engineering event,” said Fran Buchmann, Senior Marketing Executive at PRQA. “The Developers’ Challenge” will require delegates to review about 50 lines of code, circle the issues and add their comments. The developer that offers the most complete analysis will be declared the winner, after the Manchester event.”
Sponsored by key industry tool and technology vendors, the Device Developers' Conference is free to engineers and managers working in the technical sector.
"The Conference is shaping up to be a really informative and useful day for engineers in this field,” said Richard Blackburn, Event Organiser. “We are very pleased with the content of the workshops and presentations and the quality of the presenters. We are very sure that engineers will find this Conference enjoyable and informative, and a worthwhile investment of their time.
A key feature of the Device Developers' Conference is that it is a single day event, which takes place in three locations. This enables engineers to attend with the minimal of travel time and expense. Another key feature is the ½-day technology workshop schedule that enables engineers to receive hands-on training from industry experts.
The companies exhibiting and presenting at The UK Device Developers' Conference include embedded software provider Wind River, German debug tools company Lauterbach, UK computer board manufacturer Blue Chip Technology Ltd, embedded systems development consultants Pebble Bay and development tools distributor SDC Systems. It is anticipated that up to 30 vendors will be exhibiting to demonstrate and explain their latest tools and technology.
The half-day workshops at this event will include ‘An Introduction to Advanced Debugging Techniques’, ‘An Introduction to Device Driver Development’ and ‘Getting to Grips with the new MISRA C:2012 Standard’.
Presentation titles include ‘Managing The Commercial Use of Linux’ and ‘Developing Device Drivers for Embedded Systems’.
