What We Actually Know About Software Development
About
Researchers have spent decades studying programs, programmers, and programming, but most developers know little or nothing about what they've discovered. Are some languages easier to learn than others? Does test-driven development actually make you more productive? Are some people naturally better programmers than others? And do more eyes reduce the number of bugs in a piece of software? This talk presents the best answers we have to these questions and others.
