Mission-Critical Agility

Track: Keynote, wednesday 09:00 - 09:50

Whether it is controlling interplanetary spacecraft, managing medical records, or "merely" staying employed, it seems like more of us are facing the pressure of developing mission-critical software.  It's tempting to think that reliability is all that matters, but we're also forced to adapt to constantly advancing technologies, shifting priorities, and relentless competitive pressures.  Is it wise to embrace innovation and take risks when so much is at stake?  Can you afford to be agile when failure is not an option?  Can you afford not to?

Crafting Highly Usable Applications

Track: Software craftsmanship, tuesday - afternoon

Any developer can hack together an interface, but a mark of true software craftsmanship is an attractive product that people enjoy using.  This hands-on tutorial will improve your ability to design and build intuitive software applications.

In a series of case studies we'll analyze the best and critique the worst web, desktop, and mobile applications in diverse fields from space exploration to video games.  In hands-on, collaborative exercises you'll mockup your own applications, evaluate their usability, and gain experience with a variety of powerful tools and techniques.  Developers, project leads, and managers will learn new skills that can be immediately applied to the creation of more usable applications in any programming language.
