What Are My Programmers Talking About? A Cheatsheet For Confused Managers
Friday, Aug 16
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Room 101
Description
Are you a manager who is constantly confused by the never-ending parade of new buzzwords your developers discuss? Have you ever wished someone would just sit down and explain things to you in simple terms?
It's your lucky day! In this fast, fun presentation, we'll breeze through 50+ languages, frameworks, libraries, databases, concepts, and more. We'll give a very brief, concise, "explain it to me like I'm five" explanation of what they are, why they're important, and when they may be used.
Get acquainted with Git. Speak confidently about Splunk. Know the difference between Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C, C++, C#, Rust, Scala, Python and Clojure. Learn the difference between relational databases and NoSQL databases. Find out why your front end developers fight over Angular, React, and Vue. Learn what the "GPT" in ChatGPT stands for. Get a simple explanation of an LLM. And what is a tensor, anyway?
The presenter will provide a link to a "cheat sheet" of the terms and simple explanations from the talk, plus a link to the slide deck. If time remains at the end of the talk, play "stump the presenter" by asking about any terms you may have been wondering about that weren't already covered!
