[desjoerd]

1. Who do you think this talk is for?

.NET Developers and architects looking to improve their old codebase

2. What do you think you'll learn from this talk?

How to transform, improve and re-architect an older/legacy application. The best software is software which has run the business for years, and it almost always is stuck in the past. After this talk I will learn tricks, tools and practices to improve the code and let the software run the business for years to come. You will also learn that you first need to think about fixing, instead of starting from scratch because that's something you should almost never do.

3. What's something you'll be able to accomplish with the information gained from this talk?

You will know how to slowly improve your codebase, tackle performance issues, re-architect the software to improve the quality. Thinking in what to improve and how to improve it. And most importantly keep the system up and running.

4. What is the two-sentence summary of the talk?

Are you working on a 10+ year old application? You probably have a lot of struggle and fear to build and deploy new features. The tendancy of legacy software is quite a bit of tech debt which has been accrued. I have worked on improving such legacy code bases and walk you through the steps on how to improve the delivery of new features. I will give you the tools, tips and vision needed to tackle this problem.
