Software Engineering Events in Rotterdam
This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.
This page narrows the Rotterdam calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Netherlands's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Women's Coding Club - Rotterdam #23
Rotterdam, 🇳🇱 Netherlands
Do you identify as a woman, and are learning how to code, or would you like to help other women who are learning? Come to Women's Coding Club!
We will get together to practice our coding skills. This is not a class – it's time and space to work (and network!). You can work on coding homework for a course, work on a personal coding project, or get started on a new project with others. Don't know what to work on? We have plenty of ideas and can help you pick a project that suits your current level! And you can always work on your portfolio ;)
Use these three hours to work on your coding skills, ask questions, get motivated by working with others who are learning how to code, build up your network of women coders, and get inspired!
This meeting is hosted in collaboration with Maakplaats010 in the Central Library. It's on the 3rd floor. Feel free to walk in and out at any time between 11:00 and 14:00!
All levels & all coding languages are welcome. Bring your own laptop.
At this meetup we will be speaking English, but the organizer (Maaike) also speaks Dutch for whoever needs it.

Session 1 – Turbocharge your pipelines: Practical tips and tricks for Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
Speaker: Maarten van Diemen
Want to make your CI/CD pipelines faster, cleaner, and more efficient—starting tomorrow? Maarten will kick off with the basics, then dive into actionable tips and tricks for Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions, focusing on three key areas:
- Templating – Build reusable, modular, and maintainable pipelines
- Speed optimization – Reduce execution time on hosted agents
- Software provisioning – Install and manage tools on your agents without slowing down your pipeline
He’ll also cover powerful but often underused features in both Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Whether you're a DevOps engineer or developer, you'll walk away with practical insights you can apply the next day.
Session 2 – Getting started with Ethical Hacking
Speaker: Christian Peeters
Abstract:
Hacks, data breaches, ransomware… you keep hearing about it in the news. To effectively protect your business and/or software, you need to know where the vulnerabilities are. And what better way to find out than by attempting to hack yourself?
In this session, we will explore how hackers operate and which tools you can use to hack (your own) applications. Additionally, we will examine the most common types of vulnerabilities, how to practice exploiting them, and what measures can be taken to prevent them.
With the rise of AI a whole new attack surface has emerged – how is it being used to hack?
Last but not least, Christian will share tips on keeping your colleagues alert by applying social engineering.
