SUMMARY:How To Lie Like A Geek
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Schwern (eval Empire). Geeks have a spe
 cial relationship with The Truth.  Nothing is more important than correc

 e end result is the opposite, a lie.  This leads to misunderstanding, ma
 ngled interfaces and the myth of the stupid user.

SUMMARY:What Web App Design Can Learn From the Harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Elaine  Wherry (Meebo). Baroque harpsichordists
  excelled at taking simple melodies and creating elaborate, beautiful pi

  limits of good taste, making the composer’s original melody unrecogniza
 ble. Something similar happens in web design.

SUMMARY:Building a Business on the Cheap
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Chris Wanstrath (GitHub). With all the hype sur
 rounding multimillion dollar rounds of funding, it's easy forget there's

 's possible to create a successful company on your own (or with a few co
 -founders). This talk will focus on just that: the frugal path to profit
 ability.

SUMMARY:How Not to Use Memcached
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jonathan Steinert (SixApart). Many people know 
 how to use memcached, the popular caching system powering much of web1+.
   Most folks, though, don't know how not to use it, and how improper usa
 ge can cause data problems, poor site/application performance, and an in
 credibly grumpy DBA.  Learn what memcached is good for, and what it's no
 t good for from those that have learned the wrong way.

SUMMARY:Open Source Analytics: Visualization and Predictive Modeling of 
 Big Data with the R Programming Language
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Driscoll (Metamarkets). The age of Big 
 Data demands open-source tools that move beyond storage towards analytic
 s:  tools to turn terabytes into insights. R is an open-source language

 power by building predictive models for Brazilian soybean harvests and b
 aseball slugger salaries.
