The April DevTank will be at StartHub, so just around the corner from MOO, with space for 150 people. As well as a bigger venue, we also have another fantastic line-up of speakers in Paolo Perrotta and Jaan Orvet.

Paolo Perrotta is the author of Metaprogramming Ruby and has more than ten years of experience as a developer and writer. These days, Paolo coaches agile teams for Yoox, a large Internet fashion shop, and teaches Java throughout Europe.

He lives in Bologna, Italy, so we are lucky to have him in London for DevTank. He will be talking about the differences between languages such as Java/C# and Ruby/Python. Jaan Orvet is Huddle's San Francisco-based User Experience Director. He believes in clarity and simplicity above everything else. He is also one third of the team behind CodeSlam, the online code editor.

Jaan is also co-author of 'Noded - The untouchable business'. Internetworld magazine listed the book together with Twitter, Apple, Nintendo Wii, and Threadless as companies and ideas that “got it right” and are leading the way to the future. He will be talking about why User Experience matters to human beings.
