Turning award winner Sir Tony Hoare will discuss his billion dollar Null Reference mistake.
• Systems that never stop - How do you develop, test, update, maintain, and reason about systems without borders?
• Democratic Political Technology Revolution - a keynote by Martin Fowler and Josh Henderson on the role of technology in modern politics.
• Functional and Concurrent Programming - A series of examples of actual use of functional programming languages and actor/concurrent languages and discuss how it affects our way to comprehend distributed, asynchronous software systems.

• Emerging languages in the enterprise - Presentations by Martin Fowler and others look at new languages and how they may be used in the enterprise.

Our vision with QCon is to create the ultimate conference for team leads, architects, and technical project management and we have tried to do that by bringing together a diverse range of topics and speakers covering both timely/practical topics that will help your projects right now, and also sessions that will provide you with tacit knowledge: context and perspective that will help you be a better software craftsman.
