There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t. We all know computers “work in binary”, but how does that affect our day-to-day coding? How does it impact a developer working with regular old base 10?

Join Joe as he shares some binary basics, the point of floating-point, and dip into decimals before doubling down on doubles. By the end, you’ll know why 1+1 can sometimes equal 10 and why 0.1 + 0.2 doesn’t always equal 0.3.

Joe will cover how these nuances in number storage can lead to unexpected results, the significance of precision in coding, and practical tips to handle these situations in .NET and JavaScript. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this talk promises to deepen your understanding of number storage and its implications in programming.
