The final day of the conference started much later than the previous days. David Heinemeier Hansson, Rails founder, was supposed to present Ruby on Rails.

The second day of CUSEC started with only a few people. Most of the attendees decided to get a few more hours of sleep after yesterday’s party. They probably should have selected to coffee option, because they definetly missed a great session at 9. Here is the session lineup for the day:
- Considering AJAX, by Chris Laffra
- Modular Concurrency, by Peter Grogono
- Testing in a Creative Environment, by Karine Roy
- A Panacea or Academic Poppycock: Formal Methods Revisited, by Connie Heitmeyer
- Model Based Development of Advanced User Interface, by Peter Forbig
- Creating Passionate Users, by Kathy Sierra
As a side note, this entry has been written in multiple parts, so don’t bother if things don’t really fit together.

Here is the list of sessions I have attended to:
- Fight the Traffic, by Chad Fowler
- What Hollywood Taught me about Software Engineering, by Robert Sabourin
- Software Testing as a Social Science, by Cem Kaner
