Interviewed by Charles Humble for InfoQ

November 24, 2020April 15, 2014 Trisha Gee

While I was at QCon London, I was grabbed for an interview with InfoQ. It’s always a pleasure to be interviewed by Charles, I think he brings out the best in me. You can see the video here. At the start of the interview we refer to the first time we met, which, if you’re … Read more

First presentation at the Virtual JUG!

December 14, 2020November 22, 2013 Trisha Gee

Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting the very first session for vJUG, a new virtual Java User Group that allows us to span geographies when sharing talks and stories. I'm really interested in the vJUG idea, especially now I'm not in London - if we can find good ways to share knowledge without having to travel, that will help us reach people who don't normally go to conferences or don't have a local user group to go to. Not to mention cutting travel costs and saving the environment.

December 14, 2020August 30, 2013 Trisha Gee

Yesterday Stephen Chin, one of Oracle's Java Evangelists and the JavaOne content chair, interviewed me via a live stream about JavaOne, the new MongoDB Java driver, and my plans to Change The World.

Life on both sides of the interview table

December 14, 2020August 29, 2013 Trisha Gee

InfoQ has posted the video of Dan North and I opining on the subject of hiring. Most of the talk is spent on how to be a good interviewer, and touches on how to market your company to prospective hires. We spend less time on how to do well as an interviewee, but in theory if you know what's going through the interviewer's mind, you should be in a much better position to take control of the interview and shine.

My Summary of GeeCON, Krakow

December 14, 2020May 22, 2013 Trisha Gee

Last week I was in Krakow, Poland for GeeCON. Which was excellent! I find it really interesting that conferences all have their own personalities, that they are not all the same.

Good overview of the NoSQL hype for Real Developers

December 14, 2020May 13, 2013 Trisha Gee

Last Tuesday I went to a London Java Community talk which promised to debunk the hype around NoSQL. Whether you're already bought into a NoSQL technology, or you're just wondering what all the noise is about, it's worth an hour out of your day to see Akmal Chaudhri's comprehensive summary of the technologies out there.

Last week was the first Devoxx UK, bringing the brand from Belgium and, more recently, France. And I think it was a HUGE success.

GDL Presents Women Techmakers with Trisha Gee

December 14, 2020March 7, 2013 Trisha Gee

I was flattered a couple of weeks ago to be interviewed by Google as part of their women techmaker's series, as it moves over to Europe. In this video I talk about going to Mars, education, planning your career, being a developer, and the impact of technology on our lives. So, not much...

December 14, 2020January 12, 2013 Trisha Gee

Yolande Poirier from OTN interviewed me at Devoxx about my new job at 10gen, Women in IT (bet that surprises you), how to be a role model, and Agile. Enjoy.

Devoxx: The Problem with Women – A Technical Approach

December 14, 2020December 18, 2012 Trisha Gee

As well as talking about, you know, actual work-type-stuff, I was encouraged to give my "Technical Approach to Women" presentation at Devoxx. This went so well at JavaOne that I thought it would be difficult to top. Also, I wasn't convinced it would work at Devoxx, because the theatres are not well suited to audience participation - the seats are warm and comfy, the room is dark, the speaker is on stage in front of a massive screen....
