(3) Kate Whalen - Customising Crawler Content: As an increasing number of people access the news through social networks, how can news organisations convey a brand identity on other platforms? This talk will explain how the Guardian programmatically alters images shared on social media, and give an introduction to the benefits of twitter-card and Open Graph meta-tags, as well as some pitfalls.

>> Second Round

(4) Aniko Monika Toth - How did I choose Ruby in the end, and how to manage to self-study with a full-time job

(5) Maria Livia Chiorean - Programming in Scala is sometimes very time consuming. Finding the most efficient way to solve a problem can end up in days of frustration. This talk is a story of trail and error with a twist at the end. It’s a story of API endpoints, generic programming, Shapeless and what happens when they all come together. Everything with examples and plenty of code.
