The talk: THE RIPPLES FROM PEBBLES

"This talk, via a sequence of stories, explores how constraints and creativity can be at the heart of one’s journey into technology. Through retracing the origin story of programming, itself, we can map the path of the emergent ‘design engineer’. By the end of this talk, you'll come to appreciate the web as a medium for capturing humankind’s spark of ingenuity."
