I’m one of the organisers for this conference, this was the second time we ran the event. The conference is tied to the local user group which I also help to organise, so speaking for this audience was kind of special as is “home turf” for me – and they are a great crowd! The talk is a nice tour of software development best practices, tied in to the thoughts of leading software writing Joel Spolsky, and updated to take account of aspects which apply specifically to web application development.
