Whether you're building a new architecture, tweaking your Python unicode, or optimizing your Java for performance, there are ways that you can fine-tune your practices to improve your efficiency and quality of work while reducing errors. O'Reilly's first online conference for software architects focuses on these matters. In four hours, we'll take you from line of code to the big picture, including an introduction to microservices and David McKinley's session "Choose Boring Technology" on making broader business decisions.
Hosted by Rachel Roumeliotis, conference chair for OSCON and the O'Reilly Software Architecture, the event is free, interactive (bring your questions), and worth your time.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
