Kick Off Meeting: What Is Software Craftsmanship?
Software craftsmanship is about improving the craft; it's about raising the bar of professional software development. Whether that's through learning and teaching or deliberate practice, there are many activities that we can use to improve our craft. But what does software craftsmanship mean to you?
At this first meeting of the London Software Craftsmanship Community, we'll discuss what software craftsmanship actually means and what we can do to improve our craft. We'll share our ideas, but we also want to hear yours! So come prepared to discuss how we can all improve the state of professional software development.
