Why isn’t functional programming the norm?
From time to time I like to take a break from brain wrenching talks and watch something relaxing, fun and educational. Enjoy.
Principles of microservices
Really good talk by Sam Newman.
Functional programming with Java 8
Yeah, Java 8 is done for it, but not everywhere, some are still programming in it. In any case, I enjoy Venkat’s talks (even attended one many years ago) he never skips the beat.
Ten Mistakes Team Leaders Make
Great talk about team leaders & dev. teams. If you liked the talk and need more insight, you can read Roy’s book: “Notes to software team leader”. I enjoyed the book greatly.
jUnit 5
If you haven’t migrated to jUnit 5, this talk will provide most important overview. Yes, it is dated, but I still found it to be valuable.
Decision making in software team
I don’t remember when or how I came across this talk, but I’m sure glad I did. I believe, the talk is a good starting point if your team is struggling in a decision making area.
The Economics of software design
Recently found, quite interesting and entertaining talk. I hope it will shed some perspective on the development process.
Introduction to NoSQL
Old but quite an interesting talk
Lunch & Learn
I’m a firm believer in continuous learning, especially when we are talking about IT field. Several years ago I attempted to bring lunch & learn mindset to my employer. After several implementational failures, the idea took root, with severely limited financial support. Being stuck with limited resources, I turned to YouTube. It is amazing, how many presentations, lectures and conferences are available. Unfortunately quantity doesn’t equal quality and it takes time to sort through a large amount of talks. I figured it might be worthwhile to publish the most interesting materials (subjectively speaking) on the site under “lunch & learn” category.
Hopefully it will be handy.
Cheers.
