Robert C. Martin: The Last Computer Language

We have invited Robert C. Martin, also known as Uncle Bob, to come to Copenhagen to teach his popular courses on Clean Code and Test-driven Development + Refactoring. Besides these courses we have also set up a free event titled "The Last Computer Language".

Clean Code: Agile Software Craftsmanship
Learn the principles and practices of Clean Code as described in his book "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" in this 3-day hands-on course. Read more.

Test Driven Development and Refactoring in C#
In this 2-day hands-on course you will learn test-driven development (TDD) and refactoring in C#. Read more.

The territory of computer languages has been explored. We've seen routines, and subroutines, functions and procedures, objects and interfaces, logic programming, stack programming, data flow programming, graphic programming, and even programs made out of game-of-life.

We've seen languages that read like english, and languages that read like math. We've seen language made out of dots, and language made out of colors. We've seen languages with rich complex syntaxes, and languages with virtually no syntax.

In short, we've seen it all. In short, we've run the gamut. In short, though there will be new languages, they won't really be new.

And that means it's time to choose. It's time for the companies and special interests to get out of the way. It's time for the religions and fads to fade away. It's time for the vast sea of languages to evaporate.

Just as mathematicians finally chose arabic numerals, and Liebniz' derivatives; it's time for the community of programmers to pare down their choice of languages to a few, perhaps even to one.

So, what will the last computer language look like? What features will it have? What kind of syntax? What kind of structure?
