Jason Gorman, Conference Chair
This is a conference about the "hard skills" that programmers and
teams require to deliver high quality working software.
From writing effective unit tests to managing dependencies, and
from writing reliable multi-threaded code to building robust and
dependable service-oriented architectures.
This conference is all about the principles and practices, and
the disciplines and habits, that distinguish the best 10% of software
professionals from the 90% who are failing their customers and
failing their profession by taking no care or pride in their work
and delivering buggy, unreliable and unmaintainable code.
This conference aims to showcase and champion the "hard skills",
and champion the idea of software craftsmanship and the ways in
which it can be encouraged and supported in the workplace, in
schools and colleges, and among the wider software development
community.
