Many JVM languages promote “less boilerplate code” as one of their selling points. Even updates to Java in recent years have removed unnecessary syntax. While this is clearly meant to be a Good Thing, many of us – particularly if we’ve been writing Java for a long time – think …
Doing refactoring seems to be an obvious programming practice. In many software development teams, this is not being done at all. “We have no time to do it!”. “We are not allowed”. “We don’t know where to start and how to do it pragmatically”. Many programmers are familiar with classic …
Most mainstream programming languages have adapted the functional style. We often hear why immutability is so important and how wonderful higher order functions are. These are but tools to reach a higher goal. In this presentation we will start by discussing the functional capabilities found in almost any language today, …
‘It’s just a detail.’ Have you ever said that or been told that? Whether it’s about implementation or requirements, we often use the word detail to suggest that something is not important enough to worry about. There are so many things to worry about in software development that we need …
It is not surprising that designers and software developers tend to be separate teams. Designers are all about creativity and art; software developers are about logic and effectiveness. Yet what we don’t realize is that both of them have one trait in common: to solve problems.
Programming history is filled with bugs that turned out to be features and limitations that pushed developers to make even more interesting products. We’ll journey through code that was so ‘bad’ it was actually good. Along the way we’ll look at the important role failure plays in learning. Then we’ll …
