Interesting talks with love from cowboys.

Check out our upcoming conferences at http://gotocon.com Ben Christesen's talk at GOTO Aarhus 2013 ABSTRACT Rxjava is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences for the Java VM that supports Java 6+, Clojure, Scala, Groovy, JRuby and Java 8 lambdas.
Much of the overall message and style of the talk was inspired by Alan Kay. For more talks with a similar message, I highly recommend: Alan Kay -- Programming and Scaling http://www.tele-task.de/archive/lecture/overview/5819/ Gerry Sussman -- We Really Don't Know How To Compute!
One of my all time favorite talks of AKay's, given in 2015.

A presentation by Rich Hickey to the Western Mass. Developers Group on Clojure and concurrency. Brief overview of Clojure, discussion of concurrency issues, locking, and immutabiity. In-depth look at Clojure's refs, transactions and agents. Demonstration and review of code for a multithreaded ant colony simulation.Be sure to grab the slides and code in order to follow along.Thanks to Shawn Fumo for working on this video.
Check out the 2013 program for GOTO Aarhus http://gotocon.com/aarhus-2013/ Martin Fowler's talk from the GOTO Aarhus Conference 2012: ABSTRACT: Martin gives a rapid introduction to NoSQL databases: where they came from, the nature of the data models they use, and the different way you have to think about consistency.
In this keynote speech from JaxConf 2012, Rich Hickey, creator of Clojure and founder of Datomic gives an awesome analysis of the changing way we think about values (not the philosphoical kind) in light of the increasing complexity of information technology and the advent of Big Data.
Rich Hickey's second, "philosophical" talk at the first Clojure Conj, in Durham, North Carolina on October 23rd, 2010. Many thanks to Matt Courtney, who graciously provided the equipment and expertise that made this recording possible.

Cross posted from http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Rich-Hickey-The-Database-as-a-Value Rich Hickey is the creator of the Clojure programming language. Most recently (over the past couple of years), Rich has been putting his iconoclastic ways to work on data programmability. The result is a new type of database, Datomic.
Code Mesh London is the best place in Europe for non-mainstream tech and programming languages. On 4-5 December 2013 over 50 inventors and originators of the most innovative languages and technologies of the moment shared their experience with 200 attendees. Topics included Scala, Haskell, Clojure, Erlang, Elixir, Julia and much more.
Rich Hickey emphasizes simplicity's virtues over easiness', showing that while many choose easiness they may end up with complexity, and the better way is to choose easiness along the simplicity path.

At Lang.NEXT 2012, several conversations happened in the "social room", which was right next to the room where sessions took place. Our dear friend, Erik Meijer, led many interesting conversations, some of which we are fortunate enough to have caught on camera for C9.
Google I/O 2009 - The Myth of the Genius Programmer Brian Fitzpatrick, Ben Collins-Sussman A pervasive elitism hovers in the background of collaborative software development: everyone secretly wants to be seen as a genius. In this talk, we discuss how to avoid this trap and gracefully exchange personal ego for personal growth and super-charged collaboration.
Rich Hickey, the author of Clojure and designer of Datomic, is a software designer with over 25 years of experience in various domains. Rich has worked on scheduling systems, broadcast automation, audio analysis and finger printing, database design, yield management, exit poll systems, and machine listenings, in a variety of languages.
Guy Steele's keynote at the 1998 ACM OOPSLA conference on "Growing a Language" discusses the importance of and issues associated with designing a programming language that can be grown by its users. ACM OOPSLA conference Speaker: Guy L. Steele Jr.
This presentation was recorded at GOTO Amsterdam 2014 http://gotoams.nl Chad Fowler is an internationally known software developer, trainer, manager, speaker, and musician. ABSTRACT As software developers, we learn to abhor maintaining other people's old software. It's old, funky and brittle.
Habits help you manage the complexity of code. You apply existing skill and knowledge automatically to the detail while focusing on the bigger picture. But because you acquire habits largely by imitation, and rarely question them, how do you know your habits are effective?
We all have moments that change the way we think, the way that we look at the world, the things we want to do with our lives. On July 20, 1969 a whole generation of Americans had one of those transforming experiences: Two men landed on the Moon and nothing was ever the same again.
