JSON, JSON Schema and beyond by Christian Sciberras

As developers we often have a need to store data in json, be it for application settings or transferring data (such as over REST).

Testers, SEO managers, designers and virtually anyone involved with IT, at some point or another may come in contact with JSON. What is JSON? How do we (and our tools) verify its validity? We will answer those questions and go beyond, with code and UI generation.

Rewriting software without spending millions by Daniel Rotter

Almost every developer will get in touch with legacy software at some point. Outdated frameworks and libraries, missing tests, not following modern best practices, you name it. Developers would love to jump into a rewrite and fix all those things, but management is usually (and rightfully) skeptical and does not approve.

In this talk I would like to explain different strategies that help with doing an incremental rewrite, which results in faster results and an easier approval from management (if you need one at all).
