Kevlin Henney's Agile Development for Developers September 22, 2010

Jon Jagger will teach this 3-day Agile Development for Developers course (authored by Kevlin Henney). This course looks at the Agile principles, practices and processes that offer a path to sustainable development for individuals, teams and organisations. For many Developers who want to focus on their craft, it is sometimes difficult to get a view of Agile development that is neither focused on a project management perspective nor just on the practice of Test-Driven Development (TDD).

For the Java or C# developer, an overview of the larger Agile process landscape needs to be complemented with the practical side of software craftsmanship. This ranges from understanding how Scrum can be fine tuned with Lean thinking, to exploring Extreme Programming practices such as TDD and pairing.

Learn how to describe representative agile development processes and common practices, slice up requirements in terms of goals and estimate and plan against them. Come along an learn modelling techniques and design thinking appropriate for responsive development. Also learn how to carry out Test-Driven Development effectively and put TDD concepts into practice
