10 Reasons Your Software Sucks! (and what to do about it)

About the Presentation:
Fresh off the European tour of “So you think you can code” *, we bring you the hit sensation, 10 Practices Every Developer Needs to Start Right Now. Recently off Broadway, you are not only going to learn something new, you are going to have a fun time learning it! (Seriously, Caleb recently gave this talk at the Microsoft office in New York… right off Broadway, also featured at the Tulsa Tech Fest and in Tel’Aviv Israel).
Based on years of consulting and working with some of the largest (and smallest) software companies in the world. these are the 10 practices that if you started doing today, would drastically improve the quality and delivery of your software! Also, be sure to hang around afterwards in the Open Spaces area. Caleb will be around to discuss any of the areas from his talk in more detail. It’s going to be great time!
Topics hit on: Object Oriented Principals, SOLID Coding, Security Concerns, Software Patterns, Automated Testing, Source Control - Branching and Merging Strategies, Continuous Integration, Agile Scrum XP Lean, Team Dynamics, Continually Learning

*Caleb was never in Europe, but it’s still going to be a great session!
