Voxxed Days Belgrade 2016

Finally I have presented (almost) all my works. It was a great pleasure to be part of Voxxed Days Belgrade 2016. Search #vdb16 in twitter and instagram to see what happened there.

We went there 4 colleagues from Peak Games

It was started with arrival of our flight. Dimitri was waiting for us, he is one of the actual organisers. He is so nice and funny guy, we had great times with him during the event. And actually he has been to Turkiye multiple times, and seen some of uncommon places for a tourist like Diyarbakir, Nemrut Mountain etc...

We had one day off before the event to have some sightseeing and to taste some traditional Serbian cuisine. I think one or two days are quite enough to know the Belgrade. Of course it is based on our performance on the first day. Thanks to Selim, we have done 30K steps in total. And went almost every location by walk. Then we learnt that there is 5 days bus ticket (for 1040 Dinars around 10 Euros), use that ticket and public busses for the rest of the days.

By the way, in general foods and drinks (with alcohol or not) is very very cheap, and the taste is quite similar to Turkish style. I strongly suggest to make a trip to Belgrade, especially if you consider that we (Turkish citizens) don't need visa for Serbia.


Let's come to the event. The opening with the music of Tesla Coil and a very big Gong was fantastic. And also keynote was very successful by Scott. Organisation was flawless. Overall talks were fine I guess, and sponsors prepared some great games, presents and stands. So overall it was a fantastic event. I have tried to attend as much talks as I can in the first day. For the first night, we went to Historical Museum of Serbia as speakers. Which was also very inspiring, I strongly suggest for the ones who visits Belgrade.

Second day my mind was full of my talk, so I have spend most of the time in the speakers room to get prepared on my talk. I could attend only some of the talks, but of course I didn't miss any of these delicious food :)  Second night we went to Nikola Tesla Museum as speakers. It was nice, but not like the Historical Museum. If you have one choice between these two museums I would suggest the former one.

After museum, I spent all night to get prepared for my talk. So finally the time had came and I did it. Here it is my talk, I didn't watch yet but I think I am happy with the result. It could have been better of course. But I think, I am getting better with every new presentation/talk :)

So as you might know, the talk was about Unity in general, specifically about these topics. You can find all the subjects and more here inside of this blog:

• Why do we move to Unity3D?
• Power of Unity3D Editor
• Coding in Unity3D
• Testing in Unity3D
• Debugging in Unity3D
• Performance Optimization in Unity3D
• Continuous Integration and Delivery with Unity3D
• Unity Services

And this is my presentation stack, please take a look and leave your questions/comments.

Finally, I admit that it was not a big deal, but still it was not that easy for me. Especially from the language point of view, it is quite challenging to have a talk in a non-native language. So as a result I am happy about what I have done. I want to thank to my colleagues at Peak Games and also to my wife and my little ones Sarp and Atlas for their supports.

Please feel free to contact me about anything you wonder. Hope to be around with this blog couple of times in a month. Let's see...

Voxxed Days - Istanbul & Belgrad

Antwerp / Belcika

Java Dunyasinda Devoxx onemli bir organizasyondur. Dunyanin her yerinden cok onemli konusmacilar ve katilimcilar bu etkinlikte bulusurlar. Yeni teknolojileri ogrenir, tartisir ve fikir alis verisinde bulunurlar. Ben de Sony yillarimda bir kez bu etkinlige katilma sansi bulmustum. 

Devoxx 2010'da aldigim notlara soyle hizlica goz gezdirince, mobil teknolojiler, cloud sistemler ve big-data kavramlarinin en trend teknolojiler oldugunu soyleyebilirim.

Voxxed Days ise Devoxx'un cesitli ulke ve sehirlerdeki lokal versiyonudur diyebiliriz.  Hatta Istanbul da bu sehirler arasinda. Voxxed Days Istanbul kodcu.com'un gayretleri ile son iki senedir basarili bir sekilde gerceklestiriliyor. Buradan kendilerine tesekkur ediyorum. Ayni sekilde Peak Games olarak biz de bu organizasyona hem ana sponsor olarak, hem de konusmacilar ile katkida bulunmaya calisiyoruz.

Voxxed Days Istanbul 2015 konusmacilarindan birisi de bendim. Peak Games'te mobil takim olarak cok onem verdigimiz "Code Review" uzerine bir konusma yapmistim. Youtube linkini ve yaptigim sunumu paylasiyorum.

Bu sene ise (Voxxed Days Istanbul 2016'da) calisma arkadasim Serdar Sahin,  Peak Games'in Big Data evrimini cok guzel bir sunum ile anlatti, izlemenizi tavsiye ederim.

Simdi gelelim asil haber vermek istedigim noktaya :)

Bu sene kisisel olarak kedime, (daha bir cok hedefin yaninda) ikisi yurtici, birisi yurtdisinda olmak uzere toplam uc (sirket disi) sunum hedefi koymustum. Bunlarin yurtici olanlarini ITU ve Bilkent Universitelerinde yaptigim sunumlarla tamamladim. Icim rahat :)

Yurtdisi icin once 360 | iDev Organizasyonuna, aklimda olan bir konu ile basvuruda bulundum, ama malesef kabul ettiremedim, belki onumuzdeki yillarda tekrar denerim. Sonrasinda ise Voxxed Days Belgrad icin baska bir konu ile basvuruda bulundum ve (mutlu haber) kabul edildim. 28-30 Eylul 2016 tarihlerinde Unity ile oyun gelistirmeye giris konulu bir sunum yapacagim. Haydi hayirlisi...

Bu sunumun calismalarina yavas yavas basladim. Kafamda ara konu basliklarini cikariyorum, hangi konu  icin ne ornekler verecegimi planlamaya calisiyorum. Benim icin gercekten zorlayici bir tecrube olacagi kesin, iyi hazirlanmak ve ici dolu birseyler sunmak istiyorum. Onumde 11 hafta gibi yeterli bir sure var gibi gorunuyor.

Bu calismalar kapsaminda, aklimda soyle bir plan var. Sunum genelinde toplam 6 - 10 arasi onemli noktadan bahsetmek istiyorum. Bu konulara tek tek hazirlanirken, her birisi icin ayri bir blog yazisi olusturmayi dusunuyorum. Boylelikle hem hazirlanmis olacagim, hem de bu hazirlik kapsaminda yapacagim calismayi burada paylasarak, (pek de ilgilenemedigim) blogumu canlandirmis olacagim. Isallah...

Tabii soylememe gerek yok ama sunum Ingilizce olacak ve dolayisiyla bu calisma kapsamindaki blog yazilarim da Ingilizce olacak.

Gerek bu konu ile ilgili, gerekse diger yazilarimla ilgili yorumlariniz, benim daha iyi bir calisma ortaya koyabilmem icin cok onemli. O yuzden yorum yapin, cekinmeyin...
