7:05 pm Clojure.Spec in stateful and distributed systems, by Manasi Kulkarni (ThoughtWorks Barcelona)
Clojure.Spec brings in a very interesting dimension into software development in Clojure. Are example based tests enough in today's day and age in software development? In this lighting talk I will briefly touch upon one of the features that could help us catch errors in stateful and distributed systems before they appear in production.

7:35 pm Incorporating security practices into agile teams, by María Gómez (ThoughtWorks Barcelona)
Every day, new security breaches are breaking headlines. Building secure applications is difficult, as vulnerabilities can be hard to predict. However, there are things we can do to make them more resilient. In this short talk, I point to a few best security practices and how to incorporate them into our agile teams.

7:50 pm Software Design in the 21st Century, by Martin Fowler (ThoughtWorks US)
In the last decade or so we've seen a number of new ideas added to the mix to help us effectively design our software. Patterns help us capture the solutions and rationale for using them. Refactoring allows us to alter the design of a system after the code is written. Agile methods, in particular Extreme Programming, give us a highly iterative and evolutionary approach which is particularly well suited to changing requirements and environments. Martin Fowler has been a leading voice in these techniques and will give a suite of short talks featuring various aspects of how these and other developments affect our software development.
