Lost Art of Simplicity - CodeStock 4.73 http://spkr8.com/t/1221

Description:

Simplicity is a lost art in the application development space. The Wikipedia definition of Simplicity is “Simplicity is the property, condition, or quality of being simple or un-combined. It often denotes beauty, purity or clarity. Simple things are usually easier to explain and understand than complicated ones. Simplicity can mean freedom from hardship, effort or confusion.” This is a beautiful statement that we often lose sight of when we are building our applications. Instead we are on a never ending quest to fill out a checklist of features or to build something clever forgetting about the actual needs of our users to get a specific task done. This session takes complexity to task and challenges you to bring simplicity to the center of your development with some straightforward ideas and guidance.

Great reminder that we as developers are prone to over-complicate. Sometimes all the user wants IS a swing...

Good energy level, passion, and audience engagement, especially for 8am!
