The Data Migration Checklist: Avoiding Common Mistakes
Tuesday, December 07, 2021 l 10:00 AM EST
Migrations are a fact of life for many data engineers and organizations. Even though migrations are common, each of them is unique and requires a different approach.
Whether you are migrating on-prem data to the cloud, from one app to another, or just deploying a new version of an app, the expectation is always the same – data from one system must move to the other system. Ideally without any issues or data fidelity losses and as quickly as possible.
Join us on this webinar as we go through our data migration checklist and show you:
– Common pitfalls and issues you might encounter during migration.
– What to watch for and some of the best practices that can help you run your migration smoothly.
– How platforms like CloverDX can help you migrate your data effectively by automating the process as much as possible.
Join us at our Miami campus in the heart of Wynwood for an Intro to JavaScript workshop. During this 90-minute workshop, you will learn JavaScript fundamentals and work through a hands-on programming challenge guided by one of the Lead Educators for our Web Development Bootcamp.

Despite this, our paths, experiences, skill sets, and passions led us to the world of design.
During this 1-hour event, Associate UI/UX Program Director Patrick McClary will share his experience going from being a sports writer to high school teacher to UX designer and he’ll offer his top 5 tips for how you might kick-start your career change to a design position.

If you are a non-technical person with an idea for an app, you’re probably looking for a technical co-founder to help you build the app.
However, you can launch a tech startup by outsourcing code!
In the early days of your startup it can be challenging to attract a technical co-founder to build your app. But by knowing how to efficiently outsource the building of your MVP and gain some traction, you can de-risk the opportunity for the tech person and change the conversation from “I Need You” to “Here’s an Opportunity”.
In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the best way to outsource the development of your app, including:
1) Why outsourcing may be the best way to find a technical co-founder
2) Outsourcing best practices
3) How not get ripped off in the process
and more!

FIVE STEPS to PRIORITIZE YOU and Your HEALTH Without Feeling Guilty For Women Leaders and Entrepreneurs who want to reduce Stress, have Peace, Purpose, and Freedom in their LIVES and CAREERS.
My name is Marilyn Rousseau, Spirituality & Mindset Coach, Technology Leader, Speaker, and Humanitarian.
About 4 years ago, I was flourishing in my career in Information Technology while thriving as an Entrepreneurship. I was working 60 to 80 hours a week and loved the work that I did. I was always busy but managed to make time for my annual routine mammogram. A few days later, I received a phone call from my doctor, and she said four words that no woman in the world ever wants to hear: “You Have Breast Cancer.”
At first, I was confused, shocked, and then I became a hot mess…I was scared, confused, overwhelmed, angry, sad, and depressed. I lost my zest for life. I had lost hope in my future.
However, in the midst of this major crisis, I experienced a huge mindset shift which led me to rediscover who I was, my values, my strengths, my self-confidence, and most of all, my purpose and my “why”. This was a major pivotal moment in my life…
In this 90-minute Masterclass, I’m going to share the rest of my journey with you, and:
The lessons that I learned helped me to make “ME” a priority WITHOUT feeling guilty about it.
The steps that I took to REDISCOVER my identity, self-Confidence, Freedom, Power, and my Goals & Dreams.
How I created a clear ROADMAP to get from where I was, to where I wanted to be.
How I reconnected with my INNER SPIRIT, and HIGHEST SELF to find PEACE, PASSION, AND PURPOSE in my life and career.
My 5 steps to PRIORITIZE “YOU” and your HEALTH WITHOUT feeling guilty, so you can live a FULFILLING life and continue to CRUSH it in your JOB and/or BUSINESS.
I can’t wait to see you and EMPOWER you to PRIORITIZE “YOU” in order to ACHIEVE your goals and dreams.
