Software developers spend 35-50 percent of their time validating and debugging software. The cost of debugging, testing, and verification is estimated to account for 50-75 percent of the total budget of software development projects, amounting to more than $100 billion annually. While tools, languages, and environments have reduced the time spent on individual debugging tasks, they have not significantly reduced the total time spent debugging, nor the cost of doing so. Therefore, a hyperfocus on elimination of bugs during development is counterproductive; programmers should instead embrace debugging as an exercise in problem solving.

The Zen Programmer is a book by Christian Grobmeier. It explains Zen in easy words to programmers.

Nobody has a more dynamic skill set than a web developer. We’ll look at the one metaskill to rule them all: The ability to come up to speed and stay there, over and over again. Abouyt Kathy Sierra (SeriousPony): Kathy Sierra worked as a game programmer, interaction designer, and learning specialist (Sun Microsystems, UCLA Extension) before creating the best-selling Head First series for O’Reilly.

Google I/O 2009 - The Myth of the Genius Programmer Brian Fitzpatrick, Ben Collins-Sussman A pervasive elitism hovers in the background of collaborative software development: everyone secretly wants to be seen as a genius. In this talk, we discuss how to avoid this trap and gracefully exchange personal ego for personal growth and super-charged collaboration. We'll also examine how software tools affect social behaviors, and how to successfully manage the growth of new ideas.

This keynote presents my (and many other's) thinking about #NoEstimates. It argues that estimation is a bad thing, particularly in the Agile world, and presents ways to plan that don't involve estimation.

Every single CEO of any IT company wants to build software faster. Time is the most expensive and valuable resource. You can’t waste it on re-work,

Rich Hickey emphasizes simplicity’s virtues over easiness’, showing that while many choose easiness they may end up with complexity, and the better way is to choose easiness along the simplicity path.

It is thought of as 'too abstract' by some people, and as 'abstract nonsense' by some others. In this talk, I will show that while it is abstract, it is far from being nonsense. I will argue that the abstraction has a purpose and that broad applicability is one of the powerful consequences. To demonstrate this, I will show how I apply concepts of category theory to important questions of life such as prejudice, privilege, blame and responsibility. I will introduce the category theory concepts from scratch so no prior knowledge is needed. These concepts will include objects and morphisms, isomorphisms and universal properties.

Simon Schmid (Wooga) and Maxim Zaks (Wooga) explain how the introduction of strict ECS architecture in Unity helped them to achieve easy to test, robust and scalable game logic. It also helped them to extract this logic and run it on a server. At Unite Europe 2015 they introduced their Open Source project Entitas-CSharp, which helped them achieve all the benefits they listed before. This year they present an example which explains how ECS and Unity can co-exist and empower developers to have a clean, scalable and testable architecture. They cover the following topics: - User Input - Integration with Unity Collision System - Reactive UI - Re-Playable games Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/V6ZJ/

Watch Greg Young's talk "CQRS and Event Sourcing" from Code on the Beach 2014 at One Ocean Resort & Spa, Atlantic Beach, Florida. Saturday, August 9, 2014. www.codeonthebeach.com Abstract: "Looking at mature domains it is odd that almost none have a concept of current state but instead are built off a set of facts that occurred; is your bank balance a column in a table? This is not by accident and there are many benefits to having this viewpoint of a system both from a business and a technological viewpoint. In this talk we will look at what cqrs (command and query responsibility segregation) and event sourcing are."

Introduction I’ve written previously (and in-depth) on the subject of security basics, using tools such as GPG, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and Keybase. But this time I wanted to focus in on the differences between encryption and hashing, whilst also providing a slightly more concise reference point for those already familiar with these concepts. Before we get started, let’s see what we’ll be covering: Terminology Hashing vs Encryption MAC vs HMAC Base64 Encoding Random Password Generation Hash Functions shasum hashlib cksum OpenSSH OpenSSL Generating a key pair Encrypting and Decrypting Randomness GPG Generating a key pair Automate Asymmetrical Encryption and Decryption Symmetrical Encryption and Decryption Signing keys Signing encrypted files Keybase Terminology OK, so using the correct terminology is essential and helps us to be explicit and clear with what we really mean.

The OWASP Top 10 is the reference standard for the most critical web application security risks. Adopting the OWASP Top 10 is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing your software development culture focused on producing secure code.
