Techniques to improve your code. I attended the Agile Coaches Gathering. Last weekend at Bletchley Park. All in all, it was a great day andI learned a lot. Bletchley Park was home to thousands of people intent on breaking military codes during the Second World War. It is in danger of falling into disrepair. This wasn’t helped with the announcement. You can make a difference and donate here. Captured the thoughts of the group here. The second session I ran was titled “Why do we coach? My name is Peter Cam...

Techniques to improve your code. I run a weekly meeting primarily aimed at engaging the development community in a number of ways such as organising dojo’s, presentations, study groups and the like. This changed recently to alternating sessions focusing on the needs of developers and testers. With the success of the meetings other groups such as Analysts and PM’s were expressing an interest in discussing topics pertinent to them. Whilst attending the Agile Coaches Gathering.

Techniques to improve your code. Why do we coach? At the Agile Coaches Gathering. I proposed a session exploring the reasons why we coach. Managing to gather a few people on the sunny lawn at Bletchley Park to explore this topic, we created a mind map looking at the positive and negative reasons for coaching. The outcome can be summarised by the following three categories:. Fulfilling peoples potential – Giving is better than receiving; people are amazing; everyone can excel. Social responsibility –...

Techniques to improve your code. Installing gems without ri and rdoc. There is scarce doc out there on how configure ruby gems on windows. Create a .gemrc file [if it doesn’t exist already] here. C: Documents and Settings user home .gemrc. Add the following line:. Gem: –no-ri –no-rdoc. And viola – new gem installs will be that bit quicker. Update: The above only works for older versions of Windows. For Win 7 / Server 2008 create the .gemrc here c: users user .gemrc. Plain Text Story Runner.

I’ve got a ticket to DRY « Leftshift’s Weblog
https://leftshift.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/ive-got-a-ticket-to-dry
Techniques to improve your code. I’ve got a ticket to DRY. All programmers tend to agree that repeating yourself [in code] should be avoided. This is commonly known by the acronym DRY. As the search engine. Not sure how this might work just yet, but it would either examine the source itself or use static analysis, something like cecil and the approach I’ve talked about before. Does anybody else think this is a good idea? What should the filters be? 1 Comment ». 11 December 2008 Reply. My name is Peter Ca...

Putting the tea into team: January 2011
http://puttingtheteaintoteam.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Putting the tea into team. Monday, January 24, 2011. Do what works for you. I've received literally no emails complaining that my "do the right thing" methodology. Is too prescriptive, so I've come up with a new methodology called "do what works for you" which I hope will work for those people who find the "do the right thing" methodology too prescriptive. What you do in this methodology is whatever works for you. Sunday, January 16, 2011. My favourite conference (SPA). Is open for registrations.

Tea-Driven Development :: What is BDD and why should I care? (Video)
http://blog.mattwynne.net/2013/08/21/what-is-bdd-and-why-should-i-care-video
Matt Wynne taking it one tea at a time. 2013 08 21 }. What is BDD and why should I care? This is the pitch that I give right at the beginning of my BDD Kickstart. Classes to give everyone an overview of what BDD is, and why I think it matters. In this video, I cover:. How BDD improves communication between developers and stakeholders. Why examples are so important in BDD. How BDD builds upon Test-Driven Development (TDD). Why business stakeholders need to care about refactoring. You can post a comment.
