Stupid questions and n00bs - top ten intriguing things you need to do
It really doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in this industry or which position you hold, understanding generation n00b and the value it brings should be mandatory for you. After asking a stupid question daily on the blog and interviewing hundreds of n00bs, employers, and teachers I’ve collected for you some rather intriguing and invaluable advice. In this unique narrated short film session I plan to shock, share and shine some light on your most valuable asset: gen. n00bs & stupid questions

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.

He'll also give you some internal insights on how to navigate the next few years of technology roadmap confusion!

Advanced Continuous Integration Techniques with Jenkins
In this talk, we'll look at several continuous integration techniques you can use to get more value out of your Jenkins installation. The topic will cover the "validated merge" feature to make your builds unbreakable, the "fingerprinting" feature to build audit trail of your artifacts, and the "pipeline" feature to better visualize how your changes are verified by Jenkins, and so on.

Software won - so what now?
You guys have won. Software is eating the world. You are the emperors and are cutting through and reinventing industries one by one. Let's think what comes next. What should your minds and skills be focused on now in order to solve bigger, meaningful problems that beset us? And how can you lead the world into an era of abundance, of iterative trouble-shooting, of optimal management of our resources - in order to generate the greatest happiness for the greatest number?

Implementing Continuous Delivery
Continuous Delivery is gaining lots of traction right now, blending aspects of the DevOps & Agile movements to help deliver our software more predictably & faster than ever before to our clients. But how do you actually do it? Where should you start? And what tools should you be using?
Based on real-world experience helping clients adopt CD, this talk will address all this - and perhaps more!

13.00-13.50
A deep look into the Event Store
What if I told you that the new Event Store (OSS geteventstore.com) is an ACID compliant database with only 24 bytes of mutable data? This session will look deep inside the Event Store and architectural decisions and trade offs made in the development of it.
Greg Young
Greg Young is a loud mouth about many things including CQRS, Event Sourcing, and getting your tests to do something more than validating your code. He is currently involved with Event Store a functional database geteventstore.com
14.10-15.00
NOSQL FTW
In this session three NOSQL techniques will be demonstrated. RavenDB, Neo4j and MongoDB. Each speaker has 10 minutes to show you why and how NOSQL can be used. It is not difficult. It is not frightening. It’s fun.
After this session, you know more about which technique you should test and continue with.
And perhaps the three speakers invite us for an open discussion.
14.10-15.00
Touch it – don’t touch it
This lightning talk session will present you with cool and new technology. Flatfrog where already present at Øredev with a prototype 2011 and now they have the best multi touch screen ready for the market.
Tobii technology steer their screens by their eyes.
Perhaps some multinational company participates in this session and shows their latest technology too.
And perhaps we can get the first real look and feel of the Surface!
Not much more to say – if you like new technology you cannot afford to miss this one.

16.45-17.35
Designing For Rapid Release
This talk focuses on the kinds of constraints we should consider when evolving their architecture of our systems in order to enable rapid, frequent release. So much of the conversation about Continuous Delivery focuses on the design of build pipelines, or the nuts and bolts of CI and infrastructure automation.

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.
Friday
10.00-10.50
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. Many of the contributing factors are rooted in social and architectural choices. The results have been spectacular both in business growth and traditional delivery metrics.
Fred George
Fred George has been writing code for over 44 years in (by his count) over 70 languages. An early adopter of OO and Agile, Fred continues to impact the industry with his leading-edge ideas. Passionately practical, Fred has spent the last few decades delivering projects for clients worldwide (US, India, China, UK). Oh, and he still writes code!
10.00-10.50
The power of node
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
This talk introduces node.js by exploring practical examples of suitable use cases.
Expect lots of code, demos, and a clear analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of node.js as a plattform.

14.10-15.00
Critical Updates: why software engineering is a fake discipline and what to do about it
Is the only measure of your worth as a developer *what* you do - the practices or processes you use? Or does it also matter *why* you do things that way - the reasoning and the evidence behind your decisions?
This session addresses fundamentals beyond any specific practice and "hot topic" debates. We will uncover the shady history of some "ground truths" of the software engineering profession, uncomfortable facts about ourselves and our own brains... and some solutions.
Laurent Bossavit
Laurent Bossavit still likes to code though no longer doing so full-time. He was a recipient of the 2006 Gordon Pask award for contributions to Agile practice. He now heads Institut Agile, a privately funded, independent entity whose missions include growing the Agile business ecosystem, creating stronger links between the business and research communities interested in Agile approaches, and providing stronger empirical evidence on the benefits and limitations of Agile practices.
8.30-9.45
Tailwind/Headwind in the pursuit of the Fibre to All
Having founded 2x billion dollar companies before the age of 27, he is the only person to receive both "Global Leader of Tomorrow" + "Tech Pioneer" awards from The World Economic forum and, as far as we know, the only person to go to the White House, on official business, in shorts. Have spent the last 15 years to develop the "perfect" BSS/OSS to empower the build out of "Fiber to All". Jonas Birgersson will share some experiences from his adventures in IT/Telecom & more importantly gaming.

From Collective Intelligence to Collaborative Creation
Hojun Song is a tech-obsessed installation artist who is trying to advance both art and usable technology. In a fun keynote Hojun will share his rebellious experience from his most recent project: building and launching a satellite. In the past, almost all space programs have been led by governments and/or military institutions. Little have been initiated by amateur groups and/or individuals. Hojun Song thinks it's time to have a private connection between us and universe.
