Title: Dreaming in git
Description:
In this presentation, we’ll get to know Git intimately enough to anticipate its every move. We’ll develop a visual mental model for a Git repository. Then we’ll explore how every-day Git commands manipulate that model. Along the way, we’ll find ways to peek into Git’s inner world to confirm our understanding. This is not an introduction to Git; it targets a developer who can commit, branch, and merge with Git. Although I’ll show example commands and output, consider bringing a laptop with Git installed so you can type along.

Title: Effective testing and troubleshooting
Description:
Have you ever been asked to provide feedback on beta software? If so, you've been put in the role of a tester, and effectively communicating what you see when things aren't working the way you expect them to can be challenging. In this talk Allan will cover the context-driven approach to testing with an emphasis on how to troubleshoot problems, how to report what you see in the most effective manner, and how to know when it's time to stop testing an area and focus your time elsewhere.
