SPA Conference session: A Good Read | |||
One-line description: | An invited panel bring something worth reading to a moderated discussion | ||
Session format: | Something entirely original [read about the different session types] | ||
Abstract: | In this session, based loosely on the BBC Radio show "A Good Read", members of an invited panel will give a short presentation on a code sample or other software artifact that they consider a Good Read. The panel then discuss the item, what makes it special, how it might be improved etc, before throwing the discussion open to the audience. It's a nice gentle way to finish the conference and set yourself up for returning to work. | ||
