★ The talks

✩ Comparing Database Types - Mark Taylor (@willCodeForAle)

Often Developers will go with a commonly used relational database as it's what they're already comfortable with, however a relational database can often not be the best tool for the job. Learn instead how to choose the best database type for your project's requirements. Candidates for discussion will be Relational, NoSQL, Graph and Time Series databases.

✩ My Opinionated OOP Talk - Hugh Noble (@HughNoble)

The structure of objects in object oriented software can make a big difference to how robust and maintainable an application is. In this short talk Hugh will be sharing some guidelines he likes to follow to help with this.
