Video weekend #127. We write an algorithm for finding prime numbers in Java, get acquainted with code completion programs, learn about top-down programming in OOP and learn how to deal with technical debt

Algorithms: Finding Prime Numbers in Java

Questions related to algorithms come up quite often in technical interviews. Therefore, every potential junior should take this into account when preparing for an interview. This video shows how to write a prime number finding algorithm with an example in Java. In addition to solving the problem, the author evaluates the performance of his algorithm when searching for the first million prime numbers.

Self-writing code

How do programs that write their own code work? Can they compete with programmers and can they change the software industry? Nikita Povarov and Roman Poborchiy, representatives of JetBrains, will answer these and many other questions. After watching this video, you will learn how automatic code generation helps speed up a programmer's work, and you will see the work of such programs using specific examples from the practice of JetBrains developers.

Top down programming and its benefits

Vyacheslav Pyzhyanov has been programming in Java for more than 10 years. During this time, he managed to become the team leader of the development group at Naumen. Recently, Vyacheslav gave a presentation, the topic of which was dedicated to top-down programming. After watching this talk, you will learn about the algorithm of actions for more effectively developing simple and understandable code. Another topic of the report was the issue of accelerating the development process. The report is relevant for developers of any level.

How to deal with technical debt and technical tasks in a product team

Team development of mobile applications requires meeting not only deadlines, but also a number of other factors. Among them, such concepts as technical debt and technical tasks play an important role. Ilya Tsarev from the Yandex Go team decided to tell in detail how to calculate the amount of technical debt and how to evaluate it. In addition, the speaker explained what needs to be done to prevent technical debt from arising, and how best to solve this problem if it does arise.
