Software is changing the world; QCon aims to empower software development by facilitating the spread of knowledge and innovation in the enterprise software development community; to achieve this, QCon is organized as a practitioner-driven conference designed for people influencing innovation in their teams: team leads, architects, project managers, engineering directors.

Software Development Conference, Oct 24-28

I have loved QCon and I've learned so much about what is hot in the industry, what's coming up next and what are people thinking/care about? Every time I go to QCon I learn about new things that I want to take back to my team. Whether they're new technologies, new ways of working or new processes and so on.

  • Good tips, questionable results

    by Fred Amiter,

    Interesting talk. To me it demonstrates that good tips don't necessarily lead to good results. The team re-invented many tried and proven solutions (a.k.a. NIH syndrome).
    My Tip 10: don't re-invent the wheel. Understand and apply best practices.
    Nonetheless, I'd prefer to see more architecture- and design-oriented talks like this instead of the fluffy Agile stuff that is occupying infoq lately.

    How is this NIH syndrome? They used common, well-supported standards (AtomPub, JSON, HTTP, the monitoring stuff) that are way less likely than any enterprise standard to fall out of fashion soon. I wish many companies I consulted with could buy into this philosophy, rather than looking for the silver bullety, bloated, big-bang solution du jour, like ESBs.

    What kind of wheel do you think they reinvented?
