Defensive Programming Done Right
Featuring John Lakos
In this talk, we begin by reviewing the basic concepts of Design-By-Contract (DbC), and what we mean by the term "Defensive Programming" (DP). We then explore our overall approach to institutionalizing defensive programming in robust reusable library software such that each application...

Some objects are more equal than others - the many meanings of equality, value and identity
Featuring Roger Orr and Steve Love
We look at the slippery concepts of equality, value and identity in programming and discuss what pitfalls there are in using them. This is important in e.g. database persistence and reliable unit tests, and is a 'key' issue when you are working with associative collections.

CPU Caches and Why You Care
Featuring Scott Meyers
This session provides a wide-ranging overview of your CPU caches, how they operate, and how that affects high-level decisions on things like data structures and traversal strategies. Both single- and multi-threaded execution are considered.

Good Enough is the enemy of the Good
Featuring Nat Pryce and Steve Freeman
We spend too much of our working lives coping with inadequate systems on inappropriate kit. We are reassured that this is acceptable because we must "deliver value" and not be "perfectionist". This is just wrong. We've seen teams that have achieved orders of magnitude more...

Simple Software - Regain Control through Decremental Development
Featuring Peter Sommerlad
Developing Software using the latest complex technology is cool. Software evolution by adding features and fixing bugs can be a burden. Both lead to brittle, buggy, overly complex and poorly performing software solutions. The value of Simplicity of a software solution is often neglected by many...

Software Naturalism - Form and Function in Untamed Code Bases
Featuring Michael C. Feathers
In the software development industry, we spend a lot of time talking about good design and not nearly enough about design as it is practiced normally. Every code base bears the mark of thousands of micro and macro code design decisions. In the end these decisions give code bases form and the form...
