Presentation: "Traditional Programming Models: Stone knives and bearskins in the Google age"
Time:
Friday 09:15 - 10:15
Location:
Abbey Room
Abstract: Programming has been taught using roughly the same approach for decades, but today's systems use radically different architectures -- consider the explosion in the count of processors and cores, massively distributed environments running parallel computations, and fully virtualized operating environments.
Learn how many of yesterday's programming principles have inadvertently become today's worst practices, and how these anti-patterns continue to form the basis of modern programming languages, frameworks and infrastructure software.
