Most conversations about best practices in software development focus on personal preferences: Vim versus emacs, static versus dynamic typing, Java versus C#. Other domains use research to settle such questions. Couldn’t software development benefit from science as well?
Felienne Hermans, assistant professor at Delft University of Technology, had a very engaging talk at I T.A.K.E. Unconference 2014 about experiments designed and run to answer questions such as:
- What is the best programming language?
- Do design patterns help in any way?
- Is Linus’ law correct?
- Are spreadsheets code?

Meet the speakers – Part 3
Software craftsmen from more than 15 countries will meet in the heart of Bucharest, 19-20 May, at I T.A.K.E Unconference! For 2 days, around 30 speakers will share insights, latest trends, and deliver hands-on sessions.
In Meet the Speakers Part I and Part II, we shared more about the first 10 speakers who will make this year event a one not to be missed. Below, you can read more about the next 5:
Yegor Buhayenko, CTO at Teamed.io, USA
Talk To Your Microservice Via a Chat Bot, not UI (Talk)
It seems that chat bots are a more effective way of interaction between web (micro-)services and users than traditional HTML user interfaces.
Alexandru Badiu, Development Lead at Corbis, Romania
Maintaining a Node.JS OSS package (Live coding)
How to setup a development pipeline for your Node.JS project.
Hugo Meeser, Owner at Bridge Global, Netherlands
How to successfully manage remote teams (Workshop)
Participants will create a best practice board in teams of 5-6 people.
Ionut G. Stan, Software Developer at Eloquentix, Romania
Let’s Write a Parser! (Live coding)
One weird trick to write parsers. Compiler engineers will hate you!
Milen Dyankov, Senior Consultant at Liferay, Poland
Microservices and Modularity or the difference between treatment and cure! (Live coding)
An attempt to analyze the problems microservices claim to solve and explore other possible solutions!
Want to challenge the current programming practices as these software craftsmen are doing? Want to experience new techniques, debate on the existing ones or even pair program in the I T.A.K.E Unconference space?

Stay tuned. We will continue publishing more about the program, speakers and the dynamic learning practices awaiting you.
Thrilled to see you in May!
Crafted Design with Sandro Mancuso
Sandro Mancuso, the initiator of the London Software Craftsmanship Community, wondered how to structure the code so that it reveals not only the architecture but also its features. In this talk, he shows how to better organize namespaces and domain entities, something he called Interaction Driven Design.
Enjoy his presentation @ I T.A.K.E. Unconference 2014 edition. Curious about 2015 edition?

Rebecca Wirfs-Brock: Maintaining Your Code Clint Eastwood Style
Rebecca Wirfs-Brock is the object design pioneer who invented the set of design practices known as Responsibility-Driven Design (RDD), the first behavioral approach to object design. She is the lead author of two software design books and design columnist for IEEE Software. By accident, she started the x-Driven Design meme (TDD, DDD, BDD…). Although best known for software design, she is has a passion simply expressing complex requirements and effectively communicating software architecture.
Rebecca shared with the audience how to maintain your code in the keynote address from the first edition of I T.A.K.E Unconference. Watch below her remarks!
