Software Craftsmanship & Clean Code (Missoula)

The Software Craftsmanship movement has sprung up over the last few years to attempt to bring higher standards of how we write and maintain our code. The techniques, principles, and science have evolved in our community of practice, yet these principles are not yet widely practiced commercially. Let's get together and learn more about clean code, the SOLID principles, test driven development, evolutionary design and architecture.
