Software Craftsmanship for Developers

We will be back in person for our July 2021 meetup! We will also be broadcasting the session at https://www.twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode

We will meet on Thursday, July 22nd, 2019 at Modis' offices at 101 Bullitt Lane. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and the presentations will begin sharply at 7:00 pm. Along with a great presentation, we'll have food and raffle prizes. Be sure to RSVP so we know how much food is needed. Afterward, we go to BJ's Restaurant to continue the conversation.

Software Craftsmanship for Developers

As a developer, knowing language syntax is important; but just as important is understanding what software craftsmanship is. In this session, Chad will talk about what the software craftsmanship movement is all about and why it is important. Chad will also explain important craftsmanship terms like code smells, DRY, and SOLID. Even if you have been developing for a while, this session will be useful to brush up on how not to be a developer but how to be a professional developer.
