MythBashers: An Adventure in Overlooked Technologies

Time: 10:30 - 11:20

Room: Stokerij

Abstract

A big part of my joy in coding is getting to play with cool toys. But sometimes in my eagerness to use the coolest toys, I overlook tools that are right in front of me. In this session, we'll take a second look at a tool that most programmers probably have at least a passing familiarity with: Bash. We'll push it to its limits, and a little beyond, all in the name of science... and fun!
