"Coding x Cooking"
While the intricacies of the tactile and improvisational art of cooking are very difficult to communicate, they have an ancient history of taking written form in the recipe and the cookbook. How can the processes of textual organization and collaboration developed for coding communities supplement and augment these textual forms? Can the ideas of social coding extend to and enhance social cooking? Further, how can the methodologies of object-oriented programming itself extend to the cooking process and culinary education? This talk hopes to address these questions, and explore ways in which tools can be developed to help document and share the individual cooking experience, as well as spread an understanding of cooking to a broader audience.
