For @jonasmaturana Neal Ford is a favorite: Rails in the large: In a hope of less painful development of large webapps.

Christian Hvidtved: Michael T. Nygard is a great speaker, there is always something very concrete to take away from his presentations. Looking forward to his talk on the track around the exiting devops movement.

Christian Hvidtved: Rich Hickey (the creator of Clojure) has some great thoughts on modeling. He has a great essay on state and identity http://clojure.org/state
