Speaking Sessions

  • The Better Parts

    • 9:45 AM Saturday
    • Room VPA-Theater
    The Sixth Edition of JavaScript's ECMAScript standard was published in June of this year. It contains some important new good parts, many unnecessary and unimportant features, and unfortunately, more really bad parts.
  • Managing Programmers

    • 11:15 AM Saturday
    • Room VPA-Theater
    Programmers are not like the other kids. They cannot and should not be managed like normal people if your intent is to produce high quality software. The things you would do to make the process go faster will actually make things go slower. This session will give you insight on the care and feeding of programmers, computer scientists, software engineers, developers, coders, and hackers.
