Peter Moran is Development Manager at Hooroo (and before that Jetstar), where he has helped build the technology team delivering new travel websites for the Qantas Group. At Hooroo, he has helped lead the path towards agile development, continuous delivery and cloud computing. Over the last decade, Peter has consulted, architected and developed with many of Australia's leading technology teams, including a year with REA. Peter still loves writing Ruby code.

Here, Ben and Peter provide their perspectives on agile development as it relates to their real world experience shipping big web apps. Theory meets practice... Tune in!

He believes Mechanical Sympathy - applying an understanding of the hardware to the creation of software - is fundamental to delivering elegant, high-performance, solutions.

Here, Martin explains his perspectives on high performance computing (and coding), when to go native versus managed (Can you really write super fast, highly machine-optimized code in Java and .NET? Martin does...). This is a long conversation and well worth your time if performant execution is important to you - yes, the irony of a long chat about highly performant computing doesn't escape me. Smiley

Given that this is a C9 conversation, we take various detours into more topics than the title suggests. Tune in.

Thanks, Martin, for taking the time to ride tandem with the random.

After he established Amsterdam as the world capital of app development, Mike moved on to start the New Lemurs, an Appsterdam startup building educational games, with the coolest URL of all time: http://le.mu.rs. (Followed closely by the URL for his blog, http://mur.mu.rs)

Here, we learn what Mike's been up to since we last did one of these C9 conversations (one year ago). Needless to say, Mike has been rather busy. His new company, New Lemurs, has just released their first game, Lemurs Chemistry: Water, which is a modern, interactive take on chemistry - and chemical interaction - geared towards children of all ages. As you'd expect, there's at least one great story behind this game.

He's developed software for companies like GE, Microsoft, and Netflix. Most recently he designed a data access framework that powers Netflix's PS3 and Windows 8 clients. His interests include programming languages, functional reactive programming, and user interface design patterns.

Here, we learn about how Jafar and team at Netflix use Rx, aka Reactive Extensions for (.NET, Obj-C, C++, JavaScript...). At Netflix, they use RxJS for their web app and Rx for .NET for their Windows Store app (Jafar is on the web team). Rx has proven to be incredibly valuable and effective for Netflix.

Jafar has always been a big fan of Rx (including his days at Microsoft), ever since he first learned about it by watching a C9 video with Erik Meijer and Brian Beckman geeking out on the math and theory behind Rx. Netflix is literally powered by Rx. Smiley Jafar really gets Rx. If you're struggling to wrap your head around it, even at the conceptual level, this conversation should make things crystal clear. Go Rx!

Of course, anytime you talk about Rx and Erik Meijer is roaming around the halls nearby, chances are pretty good that he'll drop into the conversation - literally. Does it happen this time? Will the great Erik Meijer appear? You'll need to watch this interview to find out...

Cast:

Brian Beckman, Physicist, Microsoft Veteran, Mathematica Hacker, LINQ, Xbox, Rx Developer, wrote foundational software for new starts in Bing Mobile Mapping and Technology platform. Created pure-functional language and runtime using combined numeric and symbolic processing for business intelligence and visualization. Co-Found Tesla and Volta efforts with Erik Meijer via LINQ and the Reactive Framework.  Approximately 85 patent filings and 25 issued patents. Consultant for Tire Physics on XBox racing game "Forza". * Designed and coded all physics for secret video-game project based on my "Physics of Racing" papers.

 

Michael Ficarra, a CoffeeScript/ECMAScript Enthusiast Developer at Groupon, can be described as having a passion for defining transformations of all sorts, so he is naturally very comfortable around compilers and functional programming languages. He is best known for his significant contributions to the CoffeeScript programming language, its original compiler, and his KickStarter-funded rewrite. As one of Github's most active users, he is an influential member of the online OSS and ECMAScript communities.

The principles of this newly-formed foundation - which is specifically focused on the financial industry and banking sector - are:

  • Contribution of quality code should be valued above all else
  • No control or manipulation by membership donations
  • Longer term return of value is more important than short term project needs
  • Encourage federation of trust and community
  • Inspire the community via leadership rather than management
  • Engage in common beneficial efforts with other industries


Todd is a Middleware and Networking Expert, VP Architecture Messaging 29West / Informatica. He is Vice President of Architecture for the Messaging Business Unit of 29West, now part of Informatica. As the chief architect of Informatica's Messaging Business Unit, Todd is responsible for the design and implementation of the Ultra Messaging product family (formerly known as LBM) which has over 190 production deployments within the financial services sector.

It was great to get back to Australia and meet so many excellent developers and have the chance to geek out with so many industry luminaries. Huge thanks to the Godfather, Dave Thomas, and his amazing team for putting on such a great show and providing Channel 9 with first class access to speakers and the event.

Who better to start of this series than Dave Thomas, the founder of YOW! and an icon in the software industry. Dave's the guy who invented Eclipse and was once a flag bearer for object oriented programming (he's since shied away from the "objects always, everywhere" philosophy. Dave is a developer's best friend and we love that.

Tune in and see what's on Dave's mind these days and learn a thing or two about YOW!, software engineering trends, and some big problems that face general purpose computing - for people or "users", not just developers. The Godfather has some things to say, so you better listen closely! Smiley

Thank you, Dave, for hosting C9 at YOW! 2012 and for being such a big supporter of what we do here.
