Final day at JAOO, and you’re probably more or less at the point where you can’t really grasp any more information. However, before you give up and go for all the free stuff and the competitions, try out some of these sessions:
Design Stories by Kevlin Henney
Wednesday 10:15 – 11:15 in Filuren
At least just for the fun of it, you should go to one talk with Kevlin Henney every year. Which one you pick really doesn’t matter that much, just be prepared for some nice storytelling. And don’t try it all at home™.
How Cloud is working as a disruptor to shake up middleware design by Billy Newport
Wednesday 14:45 – 15:45 in Store Sal
Maybe you’ve read our interview with Billy Newport, and if you have, you might have noticed that he doesn’t quite come off as the traditional IBM dustballer. So, if you’re going to a talk about clouds, this is probably it – there might actually be some kind of substance to it. At least their grid stuff looks pretty neat.
Software Visualization 101+ by Michele Lanza
Wednesday 16:15 – 17:15 in Filuren
Michele Lanza does some pretty interesting things with code visualization – he did some demos last year on how to create city-like maps by doing static code analysis. Hopefully something will have happened since then, but for those of you who didn’t go to his talk last year, this seems like a nice talk to finish JAOO off.
