Biography: Emil Forslund
I started programming at a very young age and when I took my first programming class in High School in 2008 I had already been making small games and applications for 6 years. Games in particular has always intrigued me, not necessarily because they are fun but that they are interactive. A game needs to be challenging but also versatile for the user.
At the university I started studying Artificial Intelligence and game design. I also got interested in student politics and got elected president of the Student Union as well as the student representative in both the University and the faculty board. I saw that most problems could be solved through collaboration and therefore co-founded an organization for mentoring students in helping each other and collaboration on programming assignments. Now I am writing my thesis about code generation and smart software design and many of these experiences have blended into the project.

Design for Quality in Java 8 / 16:30 - 16:45
Object Oriented programming has existed for almost 60 years and is still the largest paradigm in computer science. First introduced as a means of reducing maintainability and reusability issues, large software projects still tend to sink into the dark marsch of bad code smells. In this talk I will show you how you can use the new features of Java 8 to increase maintainability, testability and reusability of your software systems as well as introduce a few existing patterns from other programming languages to Java.
