The Future of Methods – not just Tomorrow but also the Day after Tomorrow

We are privileged to have an exceptional panel join us to discuss what the future may hold for methods and frameworks.

We’ll explore the methods of tomorrow, or perhaps a world free from a methods war? Will we continue to be led by gurus or will experts help us so we can self-organise to create our own methods?

Join us to hear from:

• Robert “uncle Bob” Martin – ‘clean code’ instigator a proponent of software craftsmanship
• Prof. Bertrand Meyer – grand computer science and software engineering academic and industrialist
• Prof. Carlos Zapata – software engineer and futurist with a crystal ball.

Each participant will present their hypothesis of what the future of methods may be for the panel to debate one by one. We will also invite the audience to participate with their thoughts and ideas.
