Sessions
The Programs of Future Past
Colin Casey
This talk is an exploration of three visions of programming that never came to be.
Mythbusting Cloud Adoption
Terri McAllister
So, you’re moving to the cloud, now what? An anecdotal review of what cloud adoption and migration actually means to developers (and their bosses) including a dash of lessons learned, common pitfalls, and debunking some of the most base assumptions.
Rust for Developers
Vagmi Mudumbai
Rust is an exciting language that has earned its place in the world of backend development due to its guarantees of memory safety, speed, and the absence of a garbage collector. Rust’s power for the web truly shines when coupled with powerful frameworks like Axum and Tokio. Axum, a web application framework, and Tokio, a runtime for asynchronous programming in Rust, work hand in hand to create robust, high-performing, and scalable backend solutions. This session will delve into using Rust for backend web development, highlighting the capabilities of Axum and Tokio, and demonstrating why this combination is a game-changer for modern web development.
Panel on Distributed Teams and Hybrid/Remote Work
Brian Dunphy, Kathi McCarthy, Terri McAllister, Sandy Walsh
Flutter and Dart 101
Sandy Walsh
When Sandy wanted to write a new web/mobile application he looked at his old tool chest and realized it needed an upgrade. jquery and django just weren’t in vogue anymore. But he disliked Javascript and DSL’s so jumping on the React/Angular bandwagon wasn’t really an option. This talk will explain how he settled on Dart and Flutter and introduce you to the language and the UI framework built on it.
Punk Rock Software
Andrew Burke
This is a talk about bloated tech stacks, renegade DIY website development, how to build something more impactful in 6K than in 6MB, the differences between Genesis and the Ramones, and of course burgers. Lots and lots of burgers.
