The second part of the ndc reviews, which I should definitely hurry with because of the approaching NDC London, which will surely bring another batch of brilliant presentations...
Dan North: Patterns of Effective Teams
Main topics of this lecture were pair programming, teaming up people of different skill level, scrum stand-ups, code reviews/critique and hack days. The general agile food for though you can expect from Dan North focused on building a team and working in a team. I really like all of his ideas and hints, though some of them feel a tad bit too idealistic.
Robert C. Martin: Principles of Component Design.
Another show by Uncle Bob, going through historical beginnings of modular design and dividing code into separate libraries. Through dependency and coupling, up to inversion of control and programming against abstractions.
Michael Heydt: Concurrent and High-Performance Programming in .NET with TPL, async/await, and Dataflow
I had high hopes for this presentation due to the trading app that was used as a showcase of different parallel code execution techniques - which would go along with mine line of work. Unfortunately I think that the presenter wanted to touch too many subjects at once, briefly going through a little bit of everything not having enough time for a more thorough description. It also seemed that he had problems with conveying some of the thoughs, which made some sentences unclear at first. Another thing is that NDC did not post the whole recording which is a real shame, because despite of some minor slip ups it was an interesting lecture.
