Faster, More Effective Test-Driven Development
480 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
Are your tests slow and brittle? Do you get a sinking feeling when you need to refactor? Do you worry that your unit tests aren’t actually testing anything important? If so, you could benefit from writing tests that don’t use mock objects.In this workshop, you’ll use Node.js to explore a cutting-edge approach to test-driven development (TDD) that doesn’t need mocks or end-to-end tests. We’ll re-examine test-driven development from first principles to create tests that are fast, effective, and easy to write. We’ll tackle real-world problems such as testing infrastructure, evolving mock-free designs from scratch, and working with existing mock-based designs. -

Evolutionary Design Animated
50 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Modern software development welcomes changing requirements, even late in the process, but how can we write our software so that those changes don’t create a mess? Evolutionary design is the key. It’s a technique that emerges from Extreme Programming, the method that brought us test-driven development, merciless refactoring, and continuous integration.James Shore first encountered Extreme Programming and evolutionary design nearly 20 years ago. Initially skeptical, he’s explored its boundaries ever since. In this session, James will share what he’s learned through in-depth animations of real software projects. You’ll see how designs evolve over time and you’ll learn how and when to use evolutionary design for your own projects. -

Agile Engineering for the Web
480 Mins
Tutorial
Intermediate
This full-day workshop focuses on applying Agile engineering practices to web development. We'll look at practices such as build automation, continuous integration, test-driven development, refactoring, and incremental design and see how to apply them to front-end web development. We'll cover topics such as cross-browser testing, JavaScript, and CSS.
Audience: This session assumes familiarity with Agile engineering practices such as test-driven development and refactoring. Experience with JavaScript, CSS, and other web technologies is recommended. Come prepared to code.

Scaling Beyond the Enterprise
45 Mins
Keynote
Intermediate
The brilliance of early Agile methods was their non-conformity. They rejected conventional wisdom about how software should be created and substituted a new reality: one where collaboration, adaptation, and continuous improvement were more important than rigid processes and plans. At first, many people rejected these innovations, but Agile stood the test of time. Now it's won the day.
When people talk about scaling Agile, they forget those insurrectionary roots. They focus on what's palatable to the "enterprise:" how to make Agile safe, non-threatening, and acceptable--how to make it more conventional and conformist. In doing so, they risk losing the innovations that make Agile work so well.
What if we stopped worrying about what's safe and acceptable? What if we went back to those innovative roots? What would Agile look like if we scaled beyond the enterprise?
Come find out.
