Recursion, instantiate, lexical scope - where do these words come from?!
If you’ve ever been in conversation with other developers and thought, "I think I know what they’re talking about, but I’m not sure...", you’re not alone.
Let’s delve into the weird and wonderful parlance that computer scientists and developers have created for themselves.
Whether the words are borrowed or just plain made up, I’ll uncover how they made their way into the vocabulary of the modern programmer.
In this session, you’ll learn everything from etymology to history to broader definitions, all of which can help you understand what the heck that person’s rambling about.
So, the next time you’re in conversation, you’ll be the one discussing dependency injection versus inversion of control with ease.

Nice and "light" talk, perfect for the closing. Great english accent.

I'm sorry to rate this talk with 2/5 but, from abstract, I expected something more "interesting" and not so "entry level". There were too common terms explained imho.
