Apps, Algorithms & Abstractions • Dylan Beattie • GOTO 2020

This presentation was recorded at GOTOpia November 2020. #GOTOcon #GOTOpia http://gotopia.eu Dylan Beattie - Creator of the Rockstar programming language and Microsoft MVP (and a real life rockstar, too) @DylanBeattie ABSTRACT It’s a familiar scenario. You’re on the train, your phone goes ‘ping’, you take it out of your pocket and hey — someone sent you a message! Awww… it’s a picture of a cat doing something funny. You send back ‘LOL’, you put your phone back in your pocket – but have you ever stopped to think about what’s actually involved in making that happen? Inside even the most basic smartphone there are literally hundreds of innovations, algorithms and inventions — but how do they really work? How were they developed? And what’s the next generation of algorithms and applications going to look like? In this talk, we’ll take a deep dive into the technology behind those everyday experiences, and demystify the algorithms and abstractions that make our digital world go round. We’ll talk about cellular data networks, signal processing, the fundamental principles of filesystem design, compression algorithms, and even a bit of quantum physics. Whether you’re a programmer, a product owner or just somebody who loves using the latest tech [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 02:21 An engineering miracle 04:41 The telephone network 07:43 The Internet 09:51 Frequency, amplitude & phase modulation 22:52 Image compression 30:15 Text messaging 36:15 Outro Read the full abstract here: https://gotopia.eu/november-2020/sessions/1624 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #Algorithms #Apps #Abstraction #Keynote #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #Technology #QuantumPhysics #RockstarProgramming CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
