FP 4 OOP FTW!

Presented at DevWeek (24th March 2015) Although not yet fully mainstream, functional programming has finally reached a critical mass of awareness among developers. The problem, however, is that many developers are up against an even greater critical mass of existing code. Much of this code purports to be object oriented, but beyond the use of the class keyword, falls somewhat short of putting the OO to good use. Many techniques identified as functional have broader applicability. This session will explore how some FP habits can be incorporated into OOP practice.

Patterns for the People

Presented at NDC 2014 in Oslo (4th June 2014) Video available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/97344527 Apparently, everyone knows about patterns. Except for the ones that don't. Which is basically all the people who've never come across patterns... plus most of the people who have. Singleton is often treated as a must-know pattern. Patterns are sometimes considered to be the basis of blueprint-driven architecture. Patterns are also seen as something you don't need to know any more because you've got frameworks, libraries and middleware by the download. Or that patterns are something you don't need to know because you're building on UML, legacy code or emergent design. There are all these misconceptions about patterns... and more. In this talk, let's take an alternative tour of patterns, one that is based on improving the habitability of code, communication, exploration, empiricism, reasoning, incremental development, sharing design and bridging rather than barricading different levels of expertise.
