ABAP CodeRetreat Archimedesbaan 18, Nieuwegein, 20th of January 2018

Thanks for your participation!

Introduction

This is a great opportunity to experience a CodeRetreat in ABAP and to expand your ABAP-skills. Spend the day with ABAP-colleagues, connect with your peers, learn from each other, share experiences and be inspired by this great community.

Just bring your own laptop and a willingness to learn. We'll provide you with an ABAP stack and access to the system for the event-day.

In addition, we're happy to tell you that Experis Ciber is offering lunch, snacks and soft drinks for free!

We'll be using ABAP on Eclipse during this event, therefore we'd like to ask everyone to install Eclipse + the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) on their laptop in advance, so we won't lose time doing this on Saturday. If y ou are unsure how to do this, you can visit the SAP Help Portal for instructions on how to do this.

See you early next year!

What is a CodeRetreat?

A CodeRetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. This free Community-Driven event format gives you the opportunity to practice Test Driven Development, Clean Code and Refactoring for a whole day. This isn’t a conference! The rules are totally different, attendees take actively part in the coding experience: act a lot, listen very little.

You can find more information about the coderetreat format movement on the CodeRetreat website and more about the ABAP CodeRetreat format on the ABAP CodeRetreat SCN wiki site.

Facilitators for this event are Damir Majer and Christian Drumm.

A science experiment...

Who are we?

We are a group of educational scientists and psychologists from the Open University of the Netherlands and the University of Utrecht. During the upcoming code retreat we would like to present you our current research line and you will get the possibility to participate in a short eye tracking session.

Our goal.

As you might know the road to becoming a programming expert is often long and difficult. Good programming education can help programming novices to master crucial steps faster. We want to develop new instructional tools that help to guide the learners’ attention and thus foster the learning of programming.

How you can help us during the upcoming CodeRetreat?

If you want to help our research, you can fill out a short questionnaire about your programming experience to indicate your interest. Most of our studies are eye tracking studies, which means that we record the eye movements of our participants. During the code retreat you will get the opportunity to test our future study material with an eye tracker. A short, voluntary participation in an eye tracking session could help us to develop new instructional tools that facilitate the learning of programing skills. Furthermore, you get the opportunity to gain insights into modern eye tracking technology and psychological research.

We hope that you are interested in contributing to our research!

Selina Emhardt and Prof. Dr. Christian Drumm
