Come hear Jon Bentley of Avaya Labs Research share 'Tricks of the Programming Trade!' 

What makes a great programmer? Clever ideas can often be traced to education, experience or heredity. Sometimes, though, insights come from "tricks of the trade". This talk describes three software tricks in detail: defining the right problem, back-of-the-envelope calculations, and debugging. It also surveys several others. Discussion will range from principles to war stories, with a special bonus theorem tossed in for good measure. Audience interaction is essential.
