Speeches
Working effectively with legacy code
Working with legacy code is hard. Poor architecture, stratification of years of modifications with different coding styles, little documentation and no tests are some of the problems we have to face. Nevertheless we need to manage this code, support it, add new features, correct bugs. Start again from scratch isn't an option. In this presentation we will see some useful techniques to work with legacy code. We will see how to adapt some methodologies like TDD to this context, how to put classes into a testing harness by breaking dependencies and how to do that without breaking existing functionalities. We'll see also how we can afford code we don't understand well.

Ajax frameworks deathmatch
There is a multitude of Ajax frameworks available on the market, choosing is more difficult than ever. We will compare a few of the most popular and interesting Ajax frameworks, try to figure out pros and cons of each of them, and hope next time we will be in a better position to make an informed choice.
