Better Software Conference West

Better Software Conference West 2014

I’m heading to the Better Software Conference West in Las Vegas tomorrow. If you want to make your software better, this is the place to do it. Just bring your software along, and when you come home it’ll be all better… seriously!

Well, maybe not. But what you CAN do is come and learn lots of great things that will help you build better software. There are some great sessions planned as always, and an expo floor to talk to the companies that make the tools you need.

I have a session on Thursday at 2:15pm titled “Hardening Your Code in a Post-Heartbleed World: What Role Does Static Analysis Play?” where I’ll be talking about how to make the most out of static code analysis. If you want to move from a reactive position in cybersecurity to a proactive one, come learn how you can harden your code and prevent problems in the first place.

Hope to see you there.

CAN (Controller Area Network)

Controller Area Network aka CAN aka CAN Bus is a wiring standard for vehicles that enables communication between various components and devices without having a host computer. For example doors, brakes, transmission.

static code analysis (4G)

The 4th generation of cellular wireless standards - it's the successor the 3G. There is a vast difference between how carriers interpret and implement 4G at the current time, ranging from HSPA to WiMax to LTE, each has difference performance characteristics. The standard requires peak data rates from 100 Mbit/s for high mobility to 1Gbit/s for low mobility.

static code analysis (early-adopter)

Someone who likes to have the latest and greatest things. They upgrade because something is newer, bigger, faster, has better numbers, etc. Sometimes they're right, but frequently the benefit of the new numbers is not measurable.

static code analysis (pattern-based analysis)

A form of static analysis where patterns of either good or bad code are stored as rules and compared against a code base without executing the code, to find potential violations.

static analysis

Any form of software analysis that can be done on the code without actually executing the code. Encompasses techniques like pattern-based analysis, metrics, code review, etc.
