ABOUT THE TALK

How should code look to fit the way we think, remember and reason? Such code would be both easier to understand and to maintain.

To see what really works we need to look across languages and paradigms. Starting from common problematic constructs such as null references, surprising corner-cases and repetitive code, Adam will discuss the cognitive costs and consequences of each. He then applies ideas from object-orientation, functional programming and lesser-known array languages to explore better approaches.

This session combines programming with findings from various fields of psychology. You'll leave with a high-level view of the principles behind code that fits our human way of thinking, together with an introduction to ideas like unconditional code, beauty, remote error handling and embedded domain-specific languages.
