Fashions vs. Fundamentals

Host

Sven Johann

Track abstract

Since the software industry is more fashionable than the fashion industry, we all have to be very careful on which trendy bandwagon we jump. In the ever changing cycles of hypes and business opportunities, the loudmouthes and evangelists push new trends into a certain direction, just to go back into the other direction some years later. Depending on the current state of the world, either one direction wins or the other. Don't get trapped by that! Instead, take a look at the fundamentals and hard-learned lessons of decade-long experts in programming, databases, processes, networks, software engineering or security. Nothing is more practical than a good theory, a solid foundation and experience!
