SUMMARY:Programming Well With Others: Social Skills for Geeks
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Brian Fitzpatrick (Google, Inc.), Ben Collins-S
 ussman (Google, Inc.). Are languages, compilers, debuggers, and algorith
 ms all you need to be a successful software engineer?  In a perfect worl
 d, those who produce the best code should be the most successful.  Unfor
 tunately, we live in a world of imperfect people, and collaborating with
  others is at least as important as having great technical skills if you
  want to write great software.

 t the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques for dynamic c

  keeps pace with their expectations. The talk concludes with a deep dive
  into both the WebSocket API and protocol.

SUMMARY:RESTful Web Services for Scientific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Joshua Boverhof (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
 ), Shreyas Cholia (NERSC). RESTful HTTP web services have many advantage
 s over the "big" web services paradigm of SOAP/WSDL/XML Schema.  RESTful
  services are simpler to create, use, and test.  REST/HTTP is native to 
 the web, thus it's easy to digest these services from Javascript or a ba
 ckend.  NEWT is a RESTful web API to NERSC HPC resources, used by other 
 scientific portals.

SUMMARY:Higher Order Javascript
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Piers Cawley (Headforwards). Languages with fir
 st class functions are different. Callbacks and `each' are just the star
 t - the fun really begins when you start learning from the Lisp guys and
  writing code that writes code that writes code. Think differently about
  your Javascript and do more with less code

SUMMARY:Scaling Django Apps
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Charles McLaughlin (Atlassian). In this session
  we'll cover the fundamentals of scaling Django applications using the M
 ercurial hosting service bitbucket.org for real world examples.  We'll c
 over how we moved the site from EC2 to our own hardware in a data center
  and scaled to meet demand.  Topics will include deployment, caching, re
 plication, load balancing, and monitoring.

SUMMARY:API Design Anti-patterns
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Martelli (Google). Designing interfaces so
  that other code can interact with ours (whether our code is a library, 
 framework, application, website...) is a very common and clearly crucial
  activity, but fraught with dangers — stuff we all keep doing wrong time
  after time. This talks shows some common cases of API design errors enc
 ountered in the wild, with tips on how to avoid them when you design you
 r next API.

SUMMARY:Teaching Creative Writing with Python
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam Parrish (Socialbomb). This presentation re
 lates my experience teaching Python as a tool for creative writing---or,
  more specifically, as a tool for creatively reading, transforming, and 
 generating poetic text. Code examples link Python with contemporary prac
 tices in creative writing (cut-ups, flarf, generative poetics). Discussi
 on will include hints, tips, and obstacles in using Python in a pedagogi
 cal environment.

SUMMARY:Unicode Support Shootout: The Good, the Bad, the Mostly Ugly
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tom Christiansen (TCPC). How does Unicode suppo
 rt across major platforms, including Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, and more,
  stack up? Who's doing the best job, and who's failing miserably? Is any
 one doing a good job? Does anyone actually implement to standard, and to
  what extent? I'll compare the major platforms to separate the losers fr
 om the not-so-losers.

SUMMARY:How to Win Friends and Write Documentation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nóirín Plunkett (Apache Software Foundation). W
 hether you’re just rolling out a new project, or you’re maintaining ten 
 years and three major versions of legacy code, good documentation is vit
 al for your users. They won't bother downloading your software if they c
 an’t work out what it does, and if all you have is the bare-bones docume
 ntation to help them to get up and running, you’ll end up spending more 
 time than you want to on support.

SUMMARY:How Not to Release Software
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Laura Thomson (Mozilla Corporation). Review wor
 st practices for releasing software: how to destroy scope in a single me
 eting; "death sprints" (more agile than death marches); how to avoid tes
 ting; how to make your software impossible to configure; and finally, wh
 en pushing out a webapp release, how to make your ops team hate you. Thi
 s tongue in cheek session will review things learned painfully and late 
 at night.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Hawley (Linux Foundation / Kernel.org), Sh

 ularity over the last few years, boasting uncounted devices and a vibran
 t development community.  We aim to pull back the curtain on the behind 
 the scenes infrastructure that supports this world wide development effo
 rt from Gerrit code review to the servers that push the source code.
