Speakers
Ethel Ng, "WTFM (Write the Friendly Manual!)"You can't RTFM (read the fracking manual) if nobody writes it. I'll talk about why I think everybody (yes, everybody) can benefit from documenting their projects, how to get over common aversions to documentation, and finally some best practices for writing clear, empathetic documentation.
Thomas Figg, “Write code that is easy to delete, not easy to extend”The problem with code re-use is that it gets in the way of changing your mind later on. Instead of building for re-usability, I think we should build software that's disposable. I don’t need to tell you that deleting code is more fun than writing it.
Writing good code isn’t about getting it right the first time. Good code is just legacy code that doesn’t get in the way. Good code is easy to delete.
Lightning Talks
Nik Crabtree, "Ten Ways to Write to Well-Crafted Software"
Neil Kimmett, "Introduction to Swift"
