Printmaking, origami, and bookbinding sound like activities on the day’s arts-and-crafts agenda at camp, not a developer conference. That is, unless you’re Heroku, the Salesforce-owned app platform, which pointedly included crafting demonstrations at its recent Waza 2013 conference in San Francisco yesterday. While the crafts made the event fun and provided respite from lengthy workshop lectures, they were more than a diversion. They also represented Heroku’s sense of itself as a people-focused shop that crafts artisanal code: software where art and science come together.
