Summary
Leslie Lamport makes the case for separating the design details of what a program should do and how it should work from the business of writing code, and discusses how the design process should work. Note: Due to a mistake in timing on QCon's part, Leslie was told 35 minutes into his planned 50 minute talk that he only had 5 minutes left to speak.
Bio
