Blissful Build Pipelines

Matthew DelvesPart of DW15

A story of going from frustration to bliss with automated testing and build pipelines so that apps can be shipped to the App Store with confidence. The talk will cover what has historically been the status quo with automated testing and then move on to modern approaches with a focus on lightweight services such as Buildkite to achieve a blissful relationship with automated build pipelines.

Matthew DelvesMatt is an iOS developer from Melbourne who takes pride in well tested apps. Having worked with a range of different software languages and disciplines, he is able to take what is great from one discipline and apply it to another. He has a love from Swift as a language and will use non English characters in code where appropriate.

 

Let’s Make a Multiplayer Game in an Forty Minutes

Jon Manning, Secret LabPart of DW15

In this session we’ll talk about how playing games over the network impacts both your game’s design and architecture, how to deal with latency and constrained bandwidth, and why variable lag is worse than the very devil himself. We’ll be using Unity 5.1, which includes a host of new and improved networking features, to build a top-­down shooter. At the end, you’ll know how to design multiplayer gameplay, how to deal with the network, and you’ll be seized with a bunch of ideas for games that you’ll want to make yourself.
