Presentation: "Putting the "re" into Architecture"
Time:
Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05
Location:
Elizabeth Windsor, Fifth Floor
Abstract:
A sustainable software architecture is an ideal that many hope for or
plan for but often fall short of. Architectural stagnation and drift
is often blamed on many things, often reflecting a subtly held belief
that if only it weren't for change or for deadlines all would be well.
Change and deadlines, however, are the lifeblood and drivers of any
development project. The idea of a static or controlled architecture
may be the problem. So what can be done to keep the architecture alive
using the mixed uncertainties and certainties of development?
Refactoring, recovery, re-envisioning, retrospection, re-engineering,
repair and many other activities beginning with re- will be explored
in this talk.
Presentation: "It Is Possible to Do Object-Oriented Programming in Java"
Time:
Friday 12:05 - 13:05
Location:
Elizabeth Windsor, Fifth Floor
Abstract: OO means different things to different people, but they normally focus on defining terms such as encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance, and talk about data abstraction, abstract data types and so on. In this talk we take a brief look at what one particular view of OO suggests and what it means for regular Java programmers and their practice.
