December 15, 2016 Silicon Valley D Meetup - December 22, 2016 - "The Curse of Knowledge: Et tu, D?" by Adam Wilson | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Adam Wilson, a past DConf speaker, has graciously accepted to be our guest speaker this month. Although he will present in-person, as usual, we will be live on Google Hangouts as well. I will post the link here right before we start at 7pm Pacific time. Come in-person at 6:30pm for food and drinks but plea^H^H^H^H RSVP so we know how much to order: https://www.meetup.com/D-Lang-Silicon-Valley/events/236253882/ Abstract: The Curse of Knowledge is a cognitive bias where a highly skilled person unknowingly assumes that others have the required background to understand a given topic. But what happens when a group of intelligent, like-minded, software engineers design a library? This talk will compare and contrast library designs with an emphasis on how we can use the power of D to improve the usability of our libraries. This exploration of library design will culminate in a discussion of how well designed libraries can be used to rapidly construct the services that businesses rely on and capture mind-share for D in the process.

Walter's talk and > now this. -- Andrei Not just those two: - Right before the talk Adam Wilson was talking about the exact same thing happening during another recent presentation. - Nobody heard one of our previous live broadcasts because again, we were muted. Actually, some members did send IMs to notify us but we didn't see the messages either because the message window was closed. :) More careful next time... Ali |
