SPA Conference session: What's your Hammer? | |||
| One-line description: | Everyone has a tool or technique they wish everyone else used. Share yours | ||
| Session format: | Workshop (75 mins) [read about the different session types] | ||
| Abstract: | Asserted: everyone that works as a programer has a certain tool, or trick, or technique, or pratice, or approach that they whish everyone else used. Deep down, they believe that it _might just be_ a silver bullet after all. It's the thing that makes grizzled old-timers say "well, you know, back in the day we had a way of doing that ten times faster in half the time". It's the thing that makes grizzled-old-timer-wannabies say "one day, one day...they'll all see that this is the way to do it" In this session we will share the hammers we al have in the bottom of our toolbag that makes us think that everything is a nail. There's a small chance that someone wil lturn out to be right--and wouldn't that be great! | ||
