Presentation: "Keynote: Zen and the Art of Software Quality"

Time: Thursday 17:00 - 17:50 / Location: Grote Zaal

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a book about Quality; what it is, where it exists, and how we may try to attain it. In this talk, I will use passages from the book to introduce ideas on how we, as software developers, might try to improve the Quality both of the software we create and of ourselves. I'll talk about what "Quality" means in the context of software, how to measure it, and the importance of close interaction with users at all stages of application development.

Keywords: software, quality, attitude, improvement, zen
Target Audience: developers, designers, architects

Mark's career in software design and development spans three decades and more programming languages than he cares to remember. C# has been his favourite language pretty much since the first public beta, when you had to write the code in a text editor and compile it on the command line.
