I attended /dev/world in Melbourne this year for the first time, and really enjoyed it. The AUC crowd is very casual & friendly, and it was great to meet a bunch of new people. A big contingent made the trip over from Perth, with five local developers presenting at the conference.
The talks were all of a really high calibre, I particularly liked Louis Cremen’s talk on mobile security, and Matt Delves on Build Pipelines.
I presented a talk entitled “Using Hipster Functional Programming Techniques in Swift”, and attempted to convince the audience to adopt more functional techiques in their code, focusing on pure functions, immutable types, and collection pipelines.

A video of the talk is available online (below), and the playground code is up on bitbucket.
