Dynamic Language Users Group – 03.10.2009
From http://odynug.kicks-ass.org:
Speaker: Brian Marick
Topic: Exhibitionism in Software Development
Description:
In Brian’s own words: I’ll talk about the ideal of radical visibility into code, visibility that allows us to /see/ what neither code nor children in trouble can ever explain:
• who did it
• what was going through their head to make that seem like a good idea
I’ll use a modified web framework as an example and speak of applications to exploratory testing.Next: one of the values that good Agile teams live by is visibility, taken right to the point of exhibitionism. I’ll explain why that’s a good idea and how it works. To close, I’ll tie the two types of exhibitionism together, using the work of some wacky social theorists.
As always food, drink, and passionate discussion will be provided. See you all there!
Meeting location is UNO’s Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) building 1110 South 67th Street Omaha, NE
