The first workshop (SIGPX)

SIGPX is a Japanese domestic study group for those interested in programming environments and their programming experience, founded in January 2016. We gather for exchanging information on state-of-the-art research and development projects relevant to programming experience. This page shows the overview of its first workshop.

Overview

36 researchers, engineers, and evangelists dealing with programming languages, tools, integrated development environments attended the event, getting to know each other through long (15min) and short (1min) introduction of their work.

The presentations took a broad range of topics and the discussions continue until the very end of the workshop. While discussions had already taken place in the Facebook group, we expanded it to the Slack team. Let me know if you are interested in participation, though the primary language is Japanese.
