6:30 PM - Why you shouldn't use else, most of the time by Brenden EhlersTalk Description
When learning how to program, we're taught early on that the if/else if/else control flow mechanism is essential to writing software. But, in my professional experience, you rarely need to write else, instead relying on other methods of controlling the flow of the program. In this talk, I'll elaborate on what I think is the better way to handle control flow, being guard clauses, and some of the exceptions to the rule (when you can use else).
