Abstract

If we are lucky, we think of performance as an afterthought. Same with other “non-functional” requirements such as security, quality, scaling, etc. However, experience shows that it is easier, at least to a small degree, to think of these “anything but non-functional" requirements up front. This often leads to better designs, better systems, and simply cleaner solutions. This session will explore the everyday things that those with an eye to performance and efficiency do that can be leveraged by anyone to build better software faster.
