Bio!
Adrienne is a Filipina software engineer, keynote speaker, author of the best-selling book Coding for Kids: Python, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor who's reached over 65,000 learners with her courses (a number she'll likely surpass when you read this). She is writing Looks Good To Me: Constructive Code Reviews, a labor of love that she hopes will improve code reviews everywhere. Perhaps most important, however, is that she spends way too much money on desserts and ungodly amounts of time playing Age of Empires II.

Variables of the Veracious Variety: How to Better Name your Variables


As the famous Phil Karlton quote goes: "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things". This talk focuses on one of those things: naming! Why is naming so difficult? How do we craft concise, clear, and consistent variable names? What makes a variable name concise, clear, and consistent? In this talk, I'd like to discuss the importance of naming, walk through examples of variable names and improve them, and set some clear guidelines and tips on how to name things. By the end of this talk, you'll leave with the indispensable skill of effectively naming things!
