I’m am looking forward to Øredev 2011 more than I have looked forward to any of the previous ones. The reason for this is that Øredev has finally become a leading conference for dynamic programming. Øredev has always been good in the enterprise sphere led by Java, .Net and mobile tracks, but it has been [...]

The Nordic Ruby conference is a really great conference. I think the secret is: it’s small (they set a limit of 150 people which was reached), single track, 15 or 30 min sessions and 30 min breaks, great party and you have lots of time to talk to very passionate speakers and attendants. The quality [...]

At JFokus 2011 I held a three hour seminar on the subject Android Application Development. Because the presentation material was highly requested we’ve decided to share it as a courtesy to the participants. Enjoy! Android Application Development at JFokus 2011

A luxury that you seldom have in the world of software development is the luxury of starting over. I am not talking about throwing away everything and start from scratch. But just taking what you have, and all the experiences learned. Apply some major refactoring to make what works really shine, and without care of [...]

The panel of Øredev 2009 proved to be a great group of people ready to take the panel format further. As the moderator I wanted something other than your daddy’s discussion – something edgy or just plain edutainment. I certainly got what I asked The folks on the stage were: James Bach – Author of [...]

Moving Fast at Scale, Lessons Learned at Facebook, Robert Johnson Facebook has over 1 million active users per engineer. Slowing down to get it right is not a good idea, unless you know exactly that your idea is right. If you try things fast, you can try out more things and you can get feedback [...]

This post is cross-posted at my personal blog. Jeannette Wing, CMU, Frontiers in Research and Education in Computing Jeanette said that there has been a paradigm shift. Not just about computing’s metal tools (transistors and wires), but also our mental tools (abstraction and methods) Is this really a new paradigm shift? Maybe for the National [...]

Hi there, on Tuesday, 23 kids and two teachers from Österportskolan in Malmö, Sweden, went to Malmö Högskolan to get first hand experience with advanced multitouch technology research, see real laser cutters in action, look at 3D printers and break apart old electronics from the school. 1Scale1 coverage It was an amazing experience to see [...]

The Halmstad office where I belong is a quite nice place to be. It’s clean, there are five desks and a sofa, and… yeah, that’s about it. Practical but perhaps a bit boring. We have these white and rather dull walls with nothing but whiteboards hanging on them so we figured, what could we do [...]

Thanks to the launch of a Way Group-initiated project based on one of my ideas (much more on that later) I am going to talk at TED@PalmSprings. At TED all main talks are 18 minutes, but there are small talks of 3 minutes in-between the 18 minute talks. I’ve gotten a 3 minute talk. But [...]

In order to embrace the true Christmas spirit, I thought I’d share a few goodies from the Devoxx conference that took place in Antwerp, Belgium in mid December. Devoxx is the former JavaPolis that has changed name due to trademarking issues with Sun. Nonetheless, it’s still the worlds largest independent Java conference, where the 3200 [...]

Apple has arranged a world tour of iPhone Tech Talks, and in cold december it was Scandinavia’s turn and a crew of software evangelists from Apple turned up at KTH in Stockholm for a full day of sessions. The sessions are confidential so I will keep this post vague on the technical parts, not revealing [...]
