Programming today is very different from programming of 20 years ago. Developers have to face the technological revolution and its new challenges. These challenges often require a completely different set of competences than in times when distributed programming was not as common as it is today.
During my presentation, I will describe my journey as a programmer with over 25 years of experience in the industry, who can boldly say "I like my job". I will recount my ups and downs that I’ve went through, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I will speak about the challenges and professional traps in my career.
I will also try to answer the question: What is the difference between "being a programmer" and "working as a programmer"? Is the programmer a profession or a vocation? Does good knowledge of technology mean being a good programmer? Or maybe a perfect knowledge of a particular language makes a great developer a great person? How to determine the profile of your skills, limitations and potential directions of professional development?
Ray Marching is a technique used to render data on screen. Unlike rasterization it operates by using various data functions. This allows us to create outstanding effects, like 3D fractals, with a small amount of coding and almost no input data. Many programmers may not be aware of this technique and that is why it's time to SPREAD knowledge of IT!
The lecture will focus on the basics of Ray Marching and serve as a guide in the first steps to take. All examles will be shown in Shadertoy.
We have a MONOLITH, right? Do we need anything else? If you think so, then we need to answer ourselves: WHY?
Let’s go for a journey to find out why there is a need for something else than a monolith and how we can decide what it should be.
During the talk, I’ll show what is influencing architects during their work, and how to bring together conflicting requirements. Moreover, we’ll find out why sometimes this what (functional) we’re building does not determine what we’re going to deliver.
Pixel art as trend is dying, but still this is great art style for making art and games. I would talk about everything you have to know about pixel art - styles, techniques, tools, games, and many more.
