Summary

Leslie Lamport makes the case for separating the design details of what a program should do and how it should work from the business of writing code, and discusses how the design process should work. Note: Due to a mistake in timing on QCon's part, Leslie was told 35 minutes into his planned 50 minute talk that he only had 5 minutes left to speak.

Bio

Leslie Lamport is 2013 Turing Award Winner for "fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems,” much of the infrastructure implemented in places like Amazon.com is based on his research.
