Presentation: Parallel KEYNOTE: 8 Lines of Code - Fleming Room 3rd Floor

Time: Thursday 09:00 - 09:50 / Location: Fleming Room

Everyone talks about simplicity but how do we reach it? This talk looks at eight lines of very common code finding in them massive numbers of dependencies and difficulties.
