The Axioms of Software Design – Itai Mamman
When: Sun June 26, 2:00pm
Where: Outbrain Office Arye Regev 6 Netanya
Is there a small set of rules that govern the evolution of every software? This talk covers a set of axioms which are believed to explain most (all?) phenomenons that we, developers, are facing in our daily work. By transcending beyond the level of patterns/practices these axioms help developers to treat design as a set of informed decisions rather than just “black magic.”
