On Saturday, KING ICT opened the door to its first Change Conference dedicated exclusively to topics concerning enterprise software solution development. 330 experts from Croatia and the region gathered in Kraš's conference areas and discussed, through interesting lectures, various technological trends relevant to software solution development, but also the numerous challenges faced by modern businesses. The Change Conference was opened by Plamenko Barišić, KING ICT's CEO: “We wanted to organize such a conference for several years. We recognize the value of all local conferences in their efforts to transfer the knowledge of specific topics, however, what makes the Change different than other conferences is its focus on topics relating to enterprise software development in the IT community and discussion of challenges we encounter on a daily basis. Over 500 people expressed their interest in participating in the conference, but we were unable to accommodate all of them. Our organizers find this a true challenge for next year – raise this event to an even higher level in terms of organization and topics”. The conference program started with an opening speech by Nenad Bakić, a well-known investor and entrepreneur. Although his lecture was mostly about social changes, he also addressed the way technology can reduce the gap between the world and Croatia: “If we only look at the tourism opportunities and our infrastructural position, we will realize Croatia has a future and it is the technological community I see as a community able to create sudden positive growth. Although the mental gap between the world and Croatia is becoming deeper and deeper, it takes absurdly little to cross it, especially using access to information as offered by modern technology. Technology is actually in the hands of all of us. If we are able to reduce the gap in consumer technologies that have been increasingly available to us, we can also close the gap in educational technology by providing schools with technology. This happens to be the main objective of the Croatian Makers League that now includes 8000 children from across Croatia and 320 schools and other educational organizations that have been provided with 1800 robots. We aim to demonstrate to primary school students how they can design successful projects themselves and we see STEM as the essence of a modern curriculum”. This year, the Change Conference featured some twenty lectures about microservices, , continuous delivery experiences and practices, novelties in Java 9 to be launched in March next year, SQL database adjustment and monitoring, GIS services, the Xamarin project, agile methodologies, the JET toolkit, and many other topics that brought the daily challenges faced in enterprise solution development closer to the engineering community, regardless of the technology, and announced novelties to be expected in the upcoming months. The conference was officially closed by a panel discussion on the subject of Software and Society. The panelists Nenad Bakić, Aleksander Radovan, KING ICT’s . Net Manager, Geertjan Wielenga, Oracle’s Product Development Manager, and Ivan Brezak Brkan, Editor-in-Chief of the Netokracija portal, addressed topics concerning the major changes occurring in the software industry in the past few years. “The changes in the word of technology are eliminating the way the media normally operate. The development of social networks will not completely eradicate the media, but new media will emerge under this pressure, more prepared for the current demand for information”, said Ivan Brezak Brkan. An intensive discussion was also launched about the omnipresent lack of women in the IT sector both in Croatia and the rest of the world, which Geertjan Wielenga commented on as follows: “I believe the world of programming is hostile toward women, so we need to change the society to achieve a balance”. The situation at Croatian faculties was detailed by the teacher Aleksander Radovan: “As a teacher at colleges, I have noticed that the number of girls enrolling in technical studies has been decreasing, so I believe we should start with positive discrimination as soon as possible”. Radovan’s words were followed by Nenad Bakić’s comment: “Thanks to the STEM Auto project, we had an opportunity to see equal interest in STEM among boys and girls, but our educational system clearly encourages them to take up humanities. It is highly important to note who we are losing in the lowest grades and this is where we would take action”.

Tvrtka KING ICT je u subotu otvorila vrata svoje prve konferencije Change posvećene isključivo temama vezanim uz razvoj enterprise softverskih rješenja. U konferencijskim prostorima Kraša okupilo se 330 stručnjaka iz Hrvatske i regije te kroz zanimljiva predavanja povelo razgovore o tehnološkim trendovima u razvoju softverskih rješenja, ali i o mnogim izazovima s kojima se današnje tvrtke susreću. Konferenciju Change otvorio je Plamenko Barišić, predsjednik uprave tvrtke KING ICT: "Želja za organizacijom konferencije ovakvog tipa postojala je već nekoliko godina. Prepoznajemo vrijednost svih lokalnih konferencija u svojim nastojanjima da prenesu znanje o specifičnim temama no ono što Change razlikuje od drugih konferencija je poticanje tema o razvoju poslovnog softvera u IT zajednici i razgovor o izazovima s kojima se svakodnevno susrećemo. Više od 500 ljudi je izrazilo svoj interes za sudjelovanje na konferenciji no nismo mogli ugostiti sve. Za naše organizatore ovo predstavlja pravi izazov sljedeće godine, a to je da ovo događanje organizacijski i tematski dignu na još višu razinu." Program konferencije započeo je uvodnim izlaganjem Nenada Bakića, poznatog investitora i poduzetnika. Iako je svoje predavanje posvetio više temama o društvenim promjenama, u svom izlaganju se osvrnuo na način na koji tehnologija može smanjiti jaz između svijeta i Hrvatske: "Ako samo pogledamo turističke mogućnosti i infrastrukturni položaj vidjet ćemo da Hrvatska ima budućnost, a tehnološku zajednicu upravo vidim kao zajednicu koja može stvoriti pozitivan nagli rast. No iako je mentalni jaz između svijeta i Hrvatske sve dublji on je paradoksalno uzak za prijeći, a posebno u tehnologiji s današnjim pristupom informacijama. Tehnologija je zapravo u rukama sviju nas. Ako možemo smanjiti jaz u potrošačkim tehnologijama koje su nam sve prisutnije onda možemo i zatvoriti jaz u edukacijskoj tehnologiji tako da školama pružimo tehnologiju. Upravo je to glavni cilj Croatian Makers lige u koju je danas uključeno 8000 djece iz cijele Hrvatske te 320 škola i drugih edukacijskih organizacija kojima je podijeljeno 1800 robota. Naš cilj je pokazati osnovnoškolcima kako samostalno mogu proizvesti uspješne projekte, a STEM vidimo kao srž modernog obrazovnog kurikuluma." Konferenciju Change je ove godine obilježilo dvadesetak predavanja o mikroservisima, continuous delivery iskustvima i praksama, novostima o programskom jeziku Java 9 koji izlazi u ožujku sljedeće godine, podešavanju i nadgledanju performansi SQL baze podataka, GIS servisima, Xamarin projektu, agilnim metodologijama, JET toolkitu i mnogim drugima temama koje su, neovisno o tehnologiji, približile svakodnevne izazove u razvoju enterprise rješenja sa zajednicom inženjera te donijele novosti koje ih sve očekuju u narednim mjesecima. Konferencija je službeno završila panel raspravom na temu Softver i društvo. Panelisti Nenad Bakić, Aleksander Radovan, voditelj .Net odjela tvrtke KING ICT, Geertjan Wielenga, voditelj razvoja proizvoda tvrtke Oracle i Ivan Brezak Brkan, glavni urednik portala Netokracija, dotaknuli su teme o velikim promjenama u softverskoj industriji posljednjih godina. "Promjene u tehnološkom svijetu ruše ustaljen način rada medija. Razvoj društvenih mreža neće izbrisati medije u potpunosti, ali će pod tim pritiskom izniknuti novi mediji prilagođeniji današnjoj potražnji za informacijama", izjavio je Ivan Brezak Brkan. Žustra rasprava se vodila i o sveprisutnoj problematici nedostatka žena u IT sektoru kako u Hrvatskoj tako i u svijetu na što se nadovezao Geertjan Wielenga "Smatram da je programerski svijet neprijateljski okrenut prema ženama i kako bi se postigao balans moramo mijenjati društvo." Situaciju na hrvatskim fakultetima je približio i profesor Aleksander Radovan: "Kao profesor na visokim školama na kojima predajem primjećujem osjetno manji broj djevojaka koje upisuju tehničke smjerove i smatram da moramo već ranije krenuti s pozitivnom diskriminacijom." Na riječi Radovana se nadovezao i Nenad Bakić, "Kroz projekt STEM auto imali smo prilike vidjeti jednak interes dječaka i djevojčica za STEM, ali očito ih naš obrazovni sustav usmjerava više na humanističke znanosti. Iznimno je bitno koga gubimo u najnižim razredima i tu je prostor gdje moramo djelovati." Više informacija o konferenciji možete potražiti na službenim stranicama putem poveznice www.changecon.com.
