Patterns for the People
Kevlin Henney proposes a new look at design patterns from the perspective of the habitability of code, communication, exploration, empiricism, reasoning, incremental development, and design sharing.

The Counterintuitive Web
Ian Robinson: the web is counterintuitive because clients are interested only in URIs and they are responsible for requests’ sequence, and one should use protocol resources , not domain resources.

Computation Abstraction: Going Beyond Programming Language Glue
Sadek Drobi talks about abstracting the control syntax (glue) in mainstream and FP languages: Null, propagating errors, events, lists, streams, channels, functors, monads, and custom abstractions.

Software Craftsmanship, Beyond The Hype
Corey Haines believes that craftsmanship means forming quality software developers who choose their own practices and use them, starting as apprentices, becoming journeymen, and ending coding katas.

Performance Testing at the Edge
Alois Reitbauer shows how to do performance testing during development, testing, and production by starting early in the development phase, breaking the test into pieces, and testing continuously.
