Talk 2: Hidden features in MS Paint - Marianne Melhoos

In many cases, it can be easier to have something visual to look at when discussing solutions, whether it is a screenshot or a visual sketch. MS Paint is a tool that many people have come across at some point, but maybe not everyone knows the true potential of this small piece of ancient software. In this lightning talk I will speak about why Paint is my preferred drawing tool for my job as a developer and reveal some of its hidden features. Maybe I can show you something you did not know before?

Talk 4: Green Code 2020 - Anders Norås

Green computing is always about energy efficient servers, hardware without hazardous materials and other things that appeal to hardware buffs. Cloud computing is great, but what else can us programmers do to help the environment?
Back in 2010, Anders showed us how to be eco-friendly through writing better code and smarter business logic in his NDC lightning talk Green Code.

Now ten years later, at dawn of the decade where the world needs to deliver on the UN Sustainability Goals, Anders revisits his 2010 presentation to explore how we programmers can contribute to eco-friendliness by writing better code and designing better software.
