Creating User Experiences: An Entry Point for Developers
A new generation of personal devices has changed what users expect from technology. Users now expect better experiences in all the software they use. But great user experiences don’t just happen – they are designed. Most developers are very weak in the areas needed for that: fundamental design principles, the design and prototyping process, and user experience patterns. But there is nothing magical about design, and it is well within the capabilities of most developers to learn the basics.

Software in the Age of Sampling
Software was once built by skilled but peculiar artisans, who meticulously crafted their original, green-fields commissions from first principles. Today, existing resources are rehashed, recombined, and remixed to produce “new” mash-ups based up the work of others.
This session will explore how software developers in the age of sampling have as much in common with contemporary high-tech music “producers” as they do with traditional engineers.

Brian Foote
Brian Foote is an itinerant software developer and rogue scholar who has been programming professionally since the 1970s. The unremitting squalor and duplication endemic he saw drove him to graduate school to study whether we could do better. This led to an interest in object-oriented programming, reflection, design patterns, and refactoring. His focus is now on why contemporary advances in tools and programming tactics have not had the impact they had once promised.
13.00-13.50
The growbotron, an iPhone powered farm. Not farmville.... a real farm.
I wanted to try my hand at indoor gardening, so I began the process and found so many repetitive tasks, measuring PH, watering, ensuring proper humidity, fans to cool the plants down, timers that need to be adjusted to control the amount of light.
So, like an good engineer, I made "an app for that", and so was born Growbotron!

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.

Making offshore testing work
During Oredev 2011, at least three people approached me after my talk and shared their challenges dealing with offshore test teams. Like it or not, good or bad, outsourcing testing is happening at large and India is the hub for outsourced testing.

Mixup testing, a cross team testing activity between scrum teams
There are a lot of benefits with having the testers in the scrum teams working side by side with the developers, and not in a separate test team. However, there are also some negative aspects that can endanger the quality of the work the testers are doing. E.g. by taking part in the design work you easily get biased as a tester and also not as independent as needed. Mixup testing is a cross team testing activity to reduced some of these negative aspects.
