Benjamin Zhou, Enterprise Information Management, EAI Mercedes-Benz USA presented: "Despite ... Good practices still count".  Which reviewed the important of good practices even though the current environments are more forgiving due to greater hardware performance and network bandwidth.  Ben's presentation discussed that "despite" computing power growing, prices dropping exponentially, and memory becoming dirt-cheap, it's tempting to DIRTIFY not only our code, but also our design. He then presented some simple yet important good practices and common sense techniques that he employs when designing and coding MQ applications.
