WIP Workshop: The modern usage of Make for modern developers

Contribute 2020 Workshop Proposal

Are you submitting a topic proposal as:

  • The person who wants to present on a specific topic

  • A topic that you would like someone else to present

Please supply the following information

  • Main Speaker (DRI): Ivan Nemytchenko

  • Co-presentors: -

  • Workshop working title: The modern usage of Make for modern developers

  • Workshop one/two sentenace description: Learn how modern developers use Make, and how it serves as a glue between multiple technologies.

  • Workshop longer description: What, Make? We're not C++ developers to use make! We have rake/maven/gulp already! Surprisingly, Make can be super-useful even for modern developer. It is low-overhead, universal and flexible tool, that serves multiple purposes: 1) a glue between multiple technologies, 2) a library of shortcuts for your development tasks, 3) a lab for quick experiments before building something more solid. In the talk we're going to go through the basics of modern Make, automate few development tasks, turn with some of GitLab rake tasks into Make shortcuts and explore the results.

  • Intended Audience?: Developers!

  • Will this be presentation only, a laptops out session, another form of interaction, a combination etc: flexible. It can be both presentation only or a mini-workshop.

  • Have you presented on this topic before anywhere (its ok if you havent!) or another topic?: Only online

  • Are you aware that this will be most likely a 30 minute presentation/interactive session with another 15 minutes of questions and there is also a chance you might have to do this two or three times?: This is fine

  • Do you have the bandwidth to put together a deck & have a few practice lead up sessions to the event (don't worry, we'll walk you thru it!): Yup

  • Any requests or additional notes/thoughts?: -
