20:00 Uhr - Vortrag mit Kevlin Henney: “Old is the New New”

Everything is changing. Everything is new. Frameworks, platforms and trends are displaced on a weekly basis. Skills are churning.

And yet… Beneath this seemingly turbulent flow, there is a slow current, strong and steady, changing relatively little over the decades. Concepts with a long history appear in new forms and fads and technologies. Principles are revisited. Ideas once lost to the mainstream are found again.

In this keynote we revisit the present through the past, looking at the enduring principles that shape programming languages, architecture, development practice and development process, the ideas that cycle round, each time becoming perhaps a little better defined, a little more mature, and look to see what else might be on the horizon.

20:45 Uhr - Q&A

Du hast noch Fragen zum Talk? Keine Scheu, bei uns soll keine Frage offen bleiben.

21:00 Uhr - Networking

Nach dem Talk kannst Du Dich mit den anderen Teilnehmern austauschen und den Abend langsam ausklingen lassen.

22:00 Uhr - Ende

Wo ein Anfang ist, muss auch ein Ende sein. Du hattest einen tollen Abend? Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bei den nächsten hafentalks wieder.
