The making of Crazyflie

The Crazyflie, a tiny quadrotor, was started in the fall 2009 as a competence development project in the Swedish consulting company Epsilon AB. This project was done during free-time with component cost handled by Epsilon. The first prototype flew about 6 moths later, but it wasn't in about an additional 6 months, in 2010, we finally decided to send a video of the Crazyflie to Hackaday.com and that’s when things really took off. After realising there was a big interest in a tiny quadrotor such as the Crazyflie we decided to make it available as a kit that could be manufactured and sold as an open source development platform.

We will take you through our developing journey, explain the technology, problems we have run in to, open software/hardware and last but not least, a flying demo.

Maven vs Gradle, On your marks, get set, go!

Ant, Maven, Gradle, Buildr - the choice of built systems for Java based systems is manifold and only discussions about coding styles are getting more heated than discussion on which built system is superior.

Polyglot Programming in the JVM

The JVM boasts one of the biggest software ecosystems: you will find libraries, components and servers of all sizes, types, colors and flavors; which have made it the choice language for many. However the JVM is open enough to let other languages live in it, these languages provide new features and concepts that the Java language does not have. On this session we'll discover the benefits of adding a bit of spice to your Java development skills by exploring Groovy, Scala and Clojure.

The Core protocols - Warp-Speed Results for any Team And the Common Platform for the Culture Tech Revolution

Agility is the power of moving quickly and easily, a behavioral nimbleness arising from the ability to think and draw conclusions together quickly. Maximal agility can be achieved with any group by using a small set of interpersonal protocols, called the Core Protocols. When consistently applied by a team, The Core Protocols generate breathtaking team alignment, a potent state of shared vision. The Core protocols are the common platform for the culture tech revolution.

Go: a simple programming environment

Go is a general-purpose language that bridges the gap between efficient statically typed languages and productive dynamic language. But it’s not just the language that makes Go special – Go has broad and consistent standard libraries and powerful but simple tools.

Go: code that grows with grace

One of Go's key design goals is code adaptability; that it should be easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way. In this talk I describe a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming TCP connections, and then use Go's concurrency mechanisms, interfaces, and standard library to extend it with a web interface and other features. While the function of the program changes dramatically, Go's flexibility preserves the original design as it grows.
