Tim Lister on Project Patterns: From Adrenalin Junkies to Template Zombies

Featuring Tim Lister

In this talk, Tim will start the talk with some examples from the book project. He will then let the audience offer up some of their own patterns.

For the second edition of "The C++ Standard Library" covering C++11 (C++0x), I tried hard to understand the new features of both the C++ language and its library. Sometimes I execrated, sometimes I praised what I found (out). So, let's present my top goodies and disappointments.

Phil Nash: Why do we do what we do? Are we doing what we want to do? The way we want to do it? How can we use the answers to these questions to get better at whatever it was we were doing in the first place?

Peter Sommerlad:Prof. Peter Sommerlad is head of IFS Institute for Software at FHO/HSR Rapperswil. Peter is co-author of the books POSA Vol.1 and Security Patterns. His goal is to make software simpler by Decremental Development: Refactoring software down to 10% its size with better architecture,...

The purpose of this presentation is to envision the process of DSL design and implementation from the perspective of extensible GPLs, and to show how the capabilities of the original application's GPL can have a dramatic impact on DSL conception.

Real Teams

Featuring Henrik Berglund

This session shows how you can make real teams a reality where you work. We will be covering a set of principles that, when put in place, pretty much guarantee that a real team will form. It does not matter if you are a developer, scrum master or a line manager. If you want to, you can make this...

Is Scrum incompatible with your brain?

Requiem for C

Featuring Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin)

For nearly five decades, it's been C. Regardless of what else has been tried, the new language paradigms that have been explored, the new semantics that have been probed, C was at the heart of the successes. C++, Java, C#, Ruby, all took their cue from C.

The popularity of agile software development processes and methodologies is imminent and fast growing. Many organizations and projects turn towards agile to help solve the problems of traditional software development.

Complexity Thinking? Or Systems Thinking++?

Featuring Jurgen Appelo

People have been using the term Systems Thinking for a few decades. But nowadays we sometimes hear the term Complexity Thinking. Some claim that comparing complexity thinking to systems thinking is like comparing Einsteinian physics to Newtonian physics. Others claim that complexity thinking is...

Many times we're handed someone else's code. "It's working code; the last guy who worked on it said so", says our boss. Then he leaves the room. After close examination, we conclude there isn't a single test in sight. No proof it works, or a safety net to make our...

There is nothing like C when it comes to the bare metal and real embedded development. It is still one of the most popular languages and unlikely to be replaced in the near future. However there are quite a few problems in the language and especially for developers in the embedded area.
