Developing for the Kinect 

The Microsoft Kinect holds the Guiness World Record as the fastest-selling consumer electronics device ever, selling 8 million units in the first 2 months. With the recent release of the official SDK, you are the controller, with the ability to change the face of future applications. Learn how to take advantage of depth sensing, skeletal tracking and sound source localization in a sub $200 device in your next project. In this session, I will talk about how to start developing for Kinect, demonstrate several interesting project, including connecting Kinect with Wp7 using NodeJS and Sockets.

What would a typical programming language look like a 100 years from now? How did previous programming languages evolve and what features they retained and discarded? Using SCSS/SASS as an illustration, we will take a peak at some of the features that are being retained for frameworks that are currently being built on existing languages.

Creating a wonderful framework is just not enough to get wide adaption. Experiments and explorations of a developer who is desperate to see the light.

For complete beginners. Introduces the key concepts of functional programming. Demonstrates how functional code can be clear, concise and powerful. Discusses which problems lend themselves to a functional approach. One example: Google's MapReduce framework.

Talk about a new approach on web development that I'm developing that combines the concept of shell scripts with RESTful webservices. 

This is not a Windows platform vs Linux platform debate, nor is it a promotion of MS$ Windows. This is to share some tips with Windows users who intends to do some serious web development work but are unwilling or inconvenient to switch to other platforms, on how to enhance their Windows with various (mostly open-source) tools to make their work more productive, to get their things done quick. Linux / Mac users are welcome to listen too, they will be shown an alternative to their familiar development environment, an equally good editor to their famous vim/emacs. It's a good practise to reduce fanboyism, to learn what's best in other world to compensate what's lacking in Linux / Mac world, so that we will improve ourselves.

So you’re busy, and you have no time to code or learn a new mobile development platform. Fortunately other developers have done the bulk of work for you, and Microsoft’s WP7 development platform kicks-a$#. This session will show you how you can leverage 3rd party libraries to code faster and smarter on the Windows Phone development platform

Would you like to build a community of raving fans around your product or technology? A community that not only uses your product but takes part in the development? Drupal has one of the largest contributor base. The strength of the community is often what attracts people to Drupal. In-depth analysis of why is it so successful, and what strategies can you use to build and nurture a strong community. Lessons learnt through  dialogues with core Drupal community personalities and from running local meetups in Singapore.

We take a look at how emacs and vim tackle the same problem: how to edit text. Why did they become the way they were? Why did they endure until today? What design decisions can we learn from them? And what the future holds.

Progress towards being able to scan a person (you! dear audience member) and print a 3D likeness as a bust or as a toy soldier. With luck, will include a live demo.

(Apologies, I've not been able to make the time to do this justice. Next time...)

Are you a non-technical startup founder?  Are you a Rails / Django / CakePHP programmer?

How about making a *responsive* web app starting from a *client side only* prototype with embedded "database" and no backend, then later put a RESTful JSON API behind it to make it ready for production?

What is Architecture and how much is enough/too much?

Discuss software architecture paradigms for the industry, what and Agile architecture should do and why it's critical. Follow up by showing the evolution from "structured systems" to "object systems", why it was good, what got lost and how a new paradigm, Domain Context Interaction, is the next step in software architecture that addresses these issues. WARNING: 1.5hr topic - requires 2 sessions back to back.

While defending a lawsuit earlier this year, Meng composed data visualizations of the arguments in the case, using Evernote along the way to manage over 2000 pieces of evidence using tags and ISO8601 dating. He integrated multiple applications, from Mindnode to BeeDocs Timeline 3D to a custom-made SVG layout engine for graphics hand-finished in Illustrator, and took advantage of access to Quick Look thumbnails at the OS level. Meng will display some of the visualizations, discuss a lawsuit as an information-theoretic problem, and share the results of his research into Evernote's internals. The Evernote API offers client-server access to the Evernote cloud, which is slow and far away from Singapore. It is better to work with the cache on your local hard drive, but there is no officially supported API for doing so. There are two solutions, and Meng will talk about both: parsing the XML export was quick and simple but slow. Next, he probed Evernote's local, undocumented SQLite3 DB, reverse-engineered the schema, built a simple Perl API using DBIx::Class, and gained direct access to the document repository under ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote/data/.

The talk will be about building the chumby NeTV video overlay solution. It will discuss the design thought process, manufacturing and the unique technology that enables the device to modify encrypted video feeds in a DMCA-safe fashion.

Might include a demo if resources permit.(afternoon talk)

Introducing what it means to make your software suck less and instil quality into your geekery

http://kernel.org/ was recently compromised (and remains down); while some jumped at the chance to trash Linux' security "feature", kernel developers were more concerned with the integrity of the Git repository holding the Linux kernel source - after all, it is the Git repo on k.org that Torvalds pushes to.  Given that collisions on SHA-1 (the hash algorithm used in Git and Mercurial) are actively researched, is it sufficient to rely on cryptographic hashes to guarantee that histories have not been tampered with? Or do we need to pick up the slack of our DVCS?  The talk will also mention recent Git developments in response to k.org's compromise. Warning: strong (almost exclusive) focus on Git, but it should be applicable to <insert your BFF DVCS>.
