The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

There is a need for better empirical methods in programming language design. This paper addresses that need by demonstrating how, by observing real Java source code, we can infer usage and usability issues with the Java language. In this study, 1746 GitHub projects were analyzed and some basic usage facts are reported.
