Due to popular demand, I'm going to post a summary/transcript of my presentation for YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2013, titled "Fighting Legacy Code". It's also the presentation that I would've given if I didn't cancel my attendance for YAPC::NA Austin 2013.
Because I wrote all this in a rush, the language is very terse. Please let me know on twitter (@lestrrat) if somethings don't make sense.
You could also take a look at my Japanese slides while reading through this. You may get a little more feel for what I'm writing about.
So I just came back from the staff after party. I'm exhausted. So I'll only write the important stuff:
This year, we had 1,131 attendees (ticket sales, invited guests, speakers, staff) I'm pretty sure this is THE BIGGEST YAPC EVAH
Talks on 4-tracks
We provided Wi-Fi to all the attendees via custom built network, and we saturated a 100Mbps line when our attendees started downloading iOS7 simultaneously
This is the LAST YAPC::Asia Tokyo that 941-san, and myself will do. There are no plans to host another YAPC::Asia Tokyo next yea…
While it's still just started, goccy, a Japanese hacker who has been working on rathercoolmodules, has been working on PerlMotion, which allows you to write iOS apps in Perl.
I'm not an iOS guy so I haven't delved too deep into it, but other than the fact that it could use a bit more packaging love, I head that so…
This year we're using HRForecast to keep track of ticket sales and talk submissions for YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2013, and it's looking good. I highly recommend you using these tools to visualize your data
