TDD your Javascript
As the world moves to rich clients on the web, it is easy to treat javascript as "just a quick scripting language." But the language of the web deserves the same respect as any other application-development language. And this means that we should not just write tests, but should also harness the power of test-driven development.

11.10-12.00
How pairing adds value
Some teams avoid pairing. Other teams embrace it to the point that they avoid working solo. What enables teams to find so much benefit in pairing that they wouldn't work any other way? And is pairing only for coding? Lisa will share her experiences with teams that find value in pairing for coding AND testing. Participants will join a discussion about how teams can nurture a pairing culture, and how pairing adds value to several aspects of software development.

Budgeting Reality: a New Approach to Mock Objects
This talk will serve as an opinionated (if broad-stroke) survey of the different ways people use test doubles (be they mocks, fakes, stubs, or spies). Our goal will be to establish a more sophisticated means of communicating on the topic. We'll discuss the pros & cons of the different approaches toward mocking, the smells of test double abuse, and the lessons I took away from writing my own test double library.

Ugly Code
It's said that without evil there can be no good and that without darkness, there can be no light. Is the same true of ugly and beautiful code? Maybe... but that's certainly not a question I'll be answering in this talk. Instead, we'll talk about ugly code, where it comes from, how to avoid it, and how to rid your codebase of it. And of course, I'll share some of my favorite anti-examples from The Daily WTF.

Less - The Path to Better Design
The concrete principles of Object Oriented Design are useful but are built upon powerful concepts that the principles tend to obscure. When design principles become goals in and of themselves, object oriented design gets a bad name and applications suffer.
This talk strips away the well-known design principles and exposes the hidden, underlying goals of design. It reveals programming techniques that allow you to write less code while creating beautiful, flexible applications.

Why Mud Still Rules
The cause of programmatic pulchritude has been championed by many, from the Literate Programming boomlet of the seventies, the Architecture craze of the eighties, the Patterns Movement of the nineties, and even the burgeoning Software Crafts movement of the current decade, alas, to little apparent effect. Because, for all our aspirations to the contrary, the de-facto standard software architecture remains the ubiquitous and enduring “Big Ball of Mud”.
What are the mudslingers doing right?

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.

The Rebels Come Out Online - What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?
"What if the Internet is something much bigger than we think?"
Alexander Bard is one of the world's leading internet social theorists and the author of "The Futurica Trilogy" together with Jan Söderqvist. In this speech he will elaborate on the fact that out of all the codes and other digital information we stuff our machines with, something much more profound, something sentient, is emerging. The internet controls us, and possesses opur imagination and worldview, rather than the other way round.
Alexander Bard
Having made a habit of lecturing dressed in haute couture shorts and an impressive fin de siècle beard, scribbling his notes on huge whiteboards rather than parading just another predictable power-point presentation, the larger-than-life Alexander Bard's simultaneously entertaining and earth-shattering lectures have consistently topped the ratings at major business and management conferences around the world. And as any good speaker does, Bard takes pride in practicing the message he preaches.

Programmer Anarchy
Pushing the boundaries of Agile, an interesting thing occurred: Core Agile practices began to disappear! This talk describes this phenomena, and explores the rationale behind it.

13.00-13.50
Async in C# 5.0 - No More Callbacks!
For modern connected apps, asynchronous programming is necessary to ensure responsiveness of devices and scalability of services. However, asynchronous programming tends to be a teeth-grinding quagmire of dynamically wired-up callbacks, busting any attempt at well-structured code and practically ensuring bugs and poor error handling. C# 5.0 changes all that. The new 'async' language feature along with futures/promises-based APIs bring back the good old imperative experience. Come see how!

How to Argue About Code
None of us would be very good developers if we never had arguments about The Best Way to Do Things. But I've had enough silly arguments about tabs-versus-spaces to last me the rest of my life. When should we stop arguing and start writing code? I'll share specific tactics for keeping code arguments evidence-based, respectful, and drama-free.
