Many times when we think about architecture in terms of software design, we found ourselves thinking only about code, but that is not ideal, since in real life what makes a good and scalable architecture is the ecosystem around it, acting as a good companion fostering code maintenance, scalability and evolution of the project. In this talk we are going to see who are the key players when it comes to a good software design/architecture.

As Software Engineers we know that Technical Debt and Legacy Code are familiar concepts we have to live with in our day to day life. We are also aware that our software, in general terms, is terrible and that does not make it any especial. Code base healthiness and maintenance are challenging, so in this quick journey we are going to walk together through a bunch of tips and techniques on how to effectively address this problem. Fernando Cejas (@android10) tag:speakerdeck.com,2005:Talk/474710 2018-11-07T07:36:06-05:00 2018-11-07T07:38:53-05:00 Reality's Dark Side: Quantum and Monkeys Quantum Mechanics focus on the study of the structure and behavior of subatomic particles, and our world is actually ruled by atomic and subatomic elements which have wave and particle nature...What does this mean? Well, this might sound interesting (or weird)... So in this talk we will try to learn and clear up these concepts. Join me in this journey and let's dive together into what is Quantum Mechanics and what has done for us so far. We will also explore Quantum Computing and its current state.

And in order to achieve it, there is long path ahead of us, which many times is not easy to follow up. Jump onboard in this journey about common (or not) software engineering disasters, failures and mistakes and how we can get the most out of those lessons in order to learn and write/develop better software.

There is actually a big chance one of those is multi-threading. That is why in this talk we are going to walk together through the different alternatives we have nowadays in order to handle, manage and master multi-threading on mobile platforms. Our focus will be mainly Android but all the content and techniques exposed here can be also used within other platforms for software engineering threading problem solving. Jump in!

I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again." This hidden love between developers and designers really exists and we must take advantage of it in order to design and develop great products. Jump onboard in this journey and let's explore this charming relationship, based on real use cases and experiences for creating awesome product features and functionalities.

Let's jump onboard on this journey and walk through different techniques that can help us keep our code sane and healthy for better scalability. Disclaimer: This talk is going to be focused from a mobile standpoint but most of the practices included can also be applied to any software project under development.

Even though technical skills are a very positive thing, other qualifications are really more important: 'features' like respect, honesty or humility are required to become a better person and, thus, a better professional. This is not an easy path to follow, and in order to accomplish it, let me share experiences on how to be a better programmer. Let's have a walk!
