Using powerful languages makes the solutions in the GoF book look hopelessly complicated. This session shows how to solve the same problems concisely, elegantly, and with far fewer lines of code using the facilities of dynamic languages.</p> <p>Speaker: Neal Ford</p> <p>Neal Ford is an Application Architect for ThoughtWorks.
