SUMMARY:Punk Rock Software
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Halifax Burger Bash\, local software developer Andrew Burke is bringing home a talk he’s done at multiple events across North America\, featuring burgers\, coding\, and punk rock. \nOn the modern web\, even simple promotional sites can be huge and bloated\, weighed down with megabytes of assets\, JavaScript\, and plugins. This is like the top-heavy music industry of the 1970s–until punk rock came along and changed everything with fast\, simple\, direct music and a do-it-yourself anarchist aesthetic. \nEvery year Halifax Burger Bash releases a big promotional website\, and every year Andrew Burke makes his own unauthorized ultra-lightweight quick reference version of it\, in the DIY spirit of punk rock. \nThis wide-ranging talk for a general audience Andrew will: \n• Explore the surprisingly parallel histories of popular music and computer technology from the mid-1970s to today\n• Show how much functionality can be wrung out of just a tiny bit of programming\n• Explain every single line of code in the site–in just 10 minutes!\n• Offer some practical tips for bringing speed and impact to your own software\n• Share how punk’s DIY and anti-authoritarian philosophy is still as important as ever
