Education and advocacy at Stately

Talk - Introducing state machines and statecharts

State machines and statecharts can seem intimidating. Especially if you (like me!) didn’t study computer science, aren’t big into maths, or just haven’t come across state machines and statecharts before.

In this session, you’ll get a whirlwind introduction to state machines and statecharts, with no prior knowledge and no coding experience required. Are you already familiar with state machines and statecharts but want to better understand the benefits and how to convince your team to get on board? That’ll be covered too.

You could be a developer, designer, project manager, multi-disciplinarian or fancy specialist; everyone can get something out of this talk, so join me!
