We are running a workshop Thursday 28 April starting at 18:30 BST exclusively available to Dv8 members.
This will be a 60 minute session led by Dave Farley.
The Workshop
Engineering for Software
How to Amplify Creativity
In most disciplines "Engineering" means the stuff that works, an application of scientific reasoning to solving practical problems. In Software, depending on your background, it either means something bureaucratic that doesn't work, or it is just another name for software development.
So what are the ideas that we can use as tools to give real, practical advantage in our work in the way that other disciplines achieve? What ideas should we treat as "the tools of our trade" whatever the technology or problem before us? This presentation explores two "tools" that we can use, Testability & Speed.
