With a basic understanding what tricks LINQ can do, he puts LINQ in the context of DDD to see how it will affect solutions, what new capabilities will brings to the table and how it makes it possible to focus even more on the domain, instead of the infrastructure.

Dynamic languages for statically typed minds
Niclas Nilsson

Niclas Nilsson is a software development coach, consultant, educator and writer with a deep passion for the software development craft. He started working as a developer in 1992 and knows that some choices make a significant difference in software development, like languages, tools, communication and processes.

This will give insight of what the differences are between dynamic languages like Ruby, Python and Groovy and traditional, statically typed, curly bracket languages like C#, Java and C++. Many questions will be answered and you will also see how dynamic languages can be added to, and used within, systems that are built in Java, C# and C++ - which may mean that you could benefit from dynamic languages sooner than you thought.
