Quick & Dirty (&Right)
Keynote
For so many years, developers have been taught by the "craftsmen" of the world that quick-and-dirty is a sin, an evil that must be rooted out and destroyed wherever it is found. What if I told you that not only is quick-and-dirty not the outright abomination that "thought leaders" make it out to be, but a necessary tool to have... and should be a critical component of every project you build from here on out?
Busy Developer's Workshop on Building a Virtual Machine
Hands-on Lab
Ever wanted to understand how a virtual machine--like the Java VM, .NET CLR, or V8 Javascript engine--actually works, but were too afraid to ask? One of the best ways to get that knowledge is to sit down and build one, from scratch. In this workshop, we'll do exactly that: starting from "File|New", we'll build a working interpreter for a relatively simplistic virtual machine, and along the way, learn a great deal about how VMs work in general. But be warned! Learning this material could have the unexpected side effects, like great appreciation for other virtual machines and the start of a lifelong obsession.
