What future we want for our Software Industry?

Cristiano Rastelli

The document discusses the software industry and how it has changed over time. It notes that the software industry is still young compared to other industries like manufacturing and automotive. It argues that software developers should be proactive in shaping the future of the industry and giving back to help it grow, such as by becoming managers to help lead teams. The document concludes that while technology continues to change the industry, human aspects like knowledge, passion and community will remain important factors in the software field.

What future we want for our Software Industry

Codemotion

by Cristiano Rastelli - This is going to be a very personal and opinionated talk, on what I foresee as a "senior" developer for the future of our profession. A talk about the personal responsibilities that we - as software developers - have. Not only to create better software, but to create a better software industry for us and for the future generations. About the risks to adopt approaches, processes and mental models typical of the Industrial era, instead of building our own "rules of the game" and decide on which values we want to ground our profession.

Tomomi Imura

Let’s say, you are searching certain frameworks, or APIs to satisfy your new project- what if you stumble on some awesome-sounding shiny website, but it comes with very poor documentations. Do you want to try it out, or keep searching something else? Or when you see a GitHub project with no README, how do you feel? I think this developer experience is one of big key factors for you to decide what technologies to use. User-Experience (UX) focuses on understanding what users' need and value, and provide practical products or services. This human-computer interaction acts the same when the users are developers. The ideas of “Developer Experiences” is to establish a good relationship between developers and platform providers. So, as a developer evangelist, what can we do to improve DX to get developers' interests? In this talk, Tomomi Imura will talk about her experiences, and how I create developer-centric contents and docs to drive the community and acquired new developers and customers.

3 Graphic Design Tips for Non-Designers

Ram Chary Everi

Once upon a time, Senior developer was the real role-model, a person that everyone looked up to, a developer that you seek for advice and wisdom. Nowadays, seniority is a synonym for large salaries and big egos. Let’s have a trip down the memory lane and drift away from the money-driven mindset. Instead of that, let’s inspire you to be better developers who are fulfilled by knowledge, success, and accomplishments.

Functional Programming with Groovy

Mario García

Mario Garcia gave a presentation on functional programming with Groovy. He began by introducing himself and his background. He then defined functional programming as a paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions, avoids state and mutable data, and produces results that only depend on inputs. Garcia emphasized that functional programming eliminates side effects to make programs easier to understand. He argued that functional programming matters because it reduces accidental complexity and improves modularity. Finally, he stated that Groovy supports a functional programming style on the JVM and encouraged adopting a functional style even in imperative languages.

Codemotion

Performance tests are not only an important instrument for understanding a system and its runtime environment. It is also essential in order to check stability and scalability – non-functional requirements that might be decisive for success. But won't my cloud hosting service scale for me as long as I can afford it? Yes, but… It only operates and scales resources. It won't automatically make your system fast, stable and scalable. This talk shows how such and comparable questions can be clarified with performance tests and how DevOps teams benefit from regular test practise.
