**** SPEAKERS ****
-- Dave Rowland, Lead Developer, Tracktion Corporation--
•A Backgrounder on Background Tasks:
Apps need to be responsive, this means taking time consuming work off off the main thread and doing it in the background. But what’s the best way to go about this? How do you communicate safely back to the message thread when you’re done? How do you inform users of the state of these tasks?
There are a lot of tricky problems to solve when dealing with background tasks. This talk delves in to them, building a task running system from first principles and solving common pitfalls one by one. Once that’s done we’ll look at how to build this system in to a real world app using patterns that are compose-able and reusable.
Using strict types and free functions enables you to write far less code which contains less bloat and is more expressive.
-- Joshua Hodge, Creator of The Audio Programmer, Undergraduate at Goldsmiths University --
