(Description coming)

(Description coming)

Bring your laptop to try out a koan (puzzles for learning) in Either C# or Java. This session will explore the use of the open source library Approval Tests to facilitate better unit testing verification

In this session, Llewellyn and Samantha will explain and show how to create a custom mod for Minecraft using the Minecraft API.

This session will demonstrate the basic techniques used to create an MVVM application using the CODE Framework for WPF. It will include an introduction to theming, Service Oriented Application Development, and developing with a mindset of future-proofing your business and data tiers.

Mobile web usage is outpacing desktop usage fast! We can no longer responsively design from the desktop down to the smaller device. We have to go Mobile First with responsive design. Ghaida will take you through the steps to go from a mobile device and progressively enhance your design to a desktop.

Foundation, the most advanced responsive front-end framework in the world, uses Zepto to make its JavaScript faster and better. Jordan will take you step-by-step on how to install and use Foundation's JavaScript plugins so you can design responsively faster.

How to build a dynamic single page application using AngularJS. http://angularjs.org/

Starting with the Business Model Canvas, we will discuss common patterns and the cycles of value generation from user activity, user networks, workflows and other common usage patterns in systems and platforms.

Content First = Mobile First. You should design with content in mind and keep in mind how it works in a mobile context. Learn the different ways you can avoid "dumbing down" your content on a mobile device.

Your product, company or service name is valuable intellectual property. This fast interactive discussion will show you how to find unique names (and domains) and the proper way to protect them without spending money on lawyers. The new gTLD domains are coming. Are you ready.

Building upon my perennial hit talk on "UI Design Fundamentals", with a twist--how do we deal with all the devices and shape beautiful usable experiences that span phone, tablet, and web? The fundamentals matter, with more issues to address! Many live examples and real situations.

A brief introduction to Clojure will be followed by an in-depth exploration of functional programming paradigms using Clojure as the implementation language.

A look at using PowerShell for a general purpose Scripting and Development Platform.

From code to product to business to brand. How to take your code and make a company in rapid time. The key steps when you don't have to wait for investors, lawyers or accountants. Do it right. Do it fast.

Dust.js is a powerful JavaScript templating framework, currently maintained by LinkedIn, that works both in the browser and on the server. This session will cover the basics of Dust.js, explain its strengths, and work through examples using both client-side JavaScript and Node.js.

The notion of type class is shrouded in a mystery. Even people that use it mostly cannot explain what it is. In this talk I explain type classes in simple terms, give examples, show how it is elegantly presented in Scala and give more examples.

We will cover advanced topics like Implementing Speech in your Windows Phone application. While the topic is certainly advanced, we will cover it in such a manner that even beginners will be able to learn from it. Developers from other mobile platforms are welcome to attend.

Part 2 will try to build up to reactive functional programming, the concept of time-based values and how that fits into the game.

In C++11, std::tuple was introduced. What is it good for? Why would you use it? Isn't it just a simple generalization of std::pair? Come and see why not, and what you can do with tuples!

This talk looks at the science of building web services, thinking about APIs from their most basic primitives, and the lessons learned at Twilio and Runscope for supporting APIs at massive scale.

Developers often develop with the assumption that they, themselves, represent their customers. This is a productive assertion up to a point. When does it become unproductive, and how to anticipate and deal with the change?

Using a RESTful (or Hypermedia) architecture, we've created "micro" services that talk to each other in order to provide scalability, along with ease of development, deployment, and management.

A quick demonstration of bitcoin and a talk about open source and open standard payment technology.

Using monads and arrowlets for server-side game development with nodejs.

The organizers of Silicon Valley Code Camp will lead this session and talk about what we want to improve for 2014. We will talk about all the changes we made this year and hopefully, get an open and frank discussion of what worked and what did not. Join us!

Clean Code - Design Patterns and Best Practices by Theo Jungeblut Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned Why writing Clean Code makes us more efficient Over the lifetime of a product, maintaining the product is actually one - if not the most - expensive area(s) of the overall product costs. Writing clean code can significantly lower these costs. However, writing clean code also makes you more efficient during the initial development time and results in more stable code. You will be presented design patterns and best practices which will make you write better and more easily maintainable code, seeing code in a holistic way. You will learn how to apply them by using an existing implementation as the starting point of the presentation. Finally, patterns & practices benefits are explained. This presentation is based on C# and Visual Studio 2012. However, the demonstrated patterns and practice can be applied to every other programming language too.

Debugging,Troubleshooting & Monitoring... by Theo Jungeblut Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned In the past, applications where created as monolithic entities running on a single server. If this is the past for you, too, you will have experienced the downside of modern distributed and cloud applications, as debugging, troubleshooting, and monitoring is not easily accomplished with traditional approaches. Within this session, we will explore different possibilities for collecting and analyzing the needed information to solve issues on modern distributed application and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach like debugger, log files, performance counter and third party solutions. The focus of this session will be on Developer and DevOps need, as increased release cycles and third party dependency more and more result in the need for troubleshooting also on production system, rather than in an isolated test environment. This session requires a solid understanding of distributed applications and knowledge of SOA, but most principles also apply to and can be beneficial for more traditional application design approaches. The used code examples are in .NET but the shown principles generally apply to other languages, too, and shown software is often available for a variety of environments.
