My Experience at SoCraTes 2023
Hi! 👋 Welcome to a new post.
On October 19-21, I attended the SoCraTes (un)conference in Rimini. With over 90 people, we gathered to talk about software crafting, testing, and all related (and unrelated) stuff 😛.
The event was fantastic! I met a lot of new people, gained insights into my current and future learning, and had some interesting (and crazy) discussions (such as discovering the niche of custom keyboards and firmware 🤩)!!!
In this post, I’m going to give a brief summary of what an unconference is and the sessions I attended during the event.
Book Summary: A Philosophy of Software Design
Hi 👋 and welcome to a new post!
Today I’ll post a summary of a book I read at the beginning of 2023, titled “A Philosophy of Software Design”, by John Ousterhout. John is a professor at Stanford, where he teaches “Operating System Principles” and “Software Design Studio”.
In the book he distills a career worth of advice, taken from his personal experience and the issues and solutions emerged while teaching his software design course.
XPUGBg March Meetup: “The Actor Model (and why an XP programmer should know it)“
Hi 👋 welcome! This post is a short summary (with personal notes and opinions here and there) of the XPUGBg (Bergamo’s eXtreme Programming User Group) meetup I attended in March. Actually, it’s just a bunch of notes and ideas connected together by my imagination and opinions 😂 (as I already did here and here). This month’s talk was titled “The Actor Model and why an XP programmer should know it” by Emanuele DelBono.
A Case for Outside-In Design: Sandro Mancuso @ Tech Talks by eDreams ODIGEO
Hi 👋 and welcome to a new post! In my 2022 review, I said that one of my goals for 2023 was to participate more in communities (meetups, conferences and so on). Well, as a first step to achieving that goal, I attended a meetup hosted by eDreams ODIGEO (here) on January 24th. For the inauguration of their Milan Hub, eDreams hosted Sandro Mancuso for his talk “A Case for Outside-In Design”, in which he proposes a set of practices and techniques to make business and technology meet when designing and extending a system.
