Kevlin Henney's Practical Agile Development in Java Workshop (AGILE-JAVA-01-03)
|
CODE: AGILE-JAVA-01-03 DURATION: 3 DAY/S
Kevlin Henney's 3 day Practical Agile Development in Java Workshop examines Agile principles, practices and processes offering a path to sustainable development.
The Agile Development in Java course is aimed at Developers. An overview of the larger Agile process landscape needs to be complemented with the practical side of software craftsmanship. This ranges from understanding how Scrum can be fine tuned with Lean thinking to exploring Extreme Programming practices such as TDD and pairing.
You will be introduced to a number of common agile techniques and put them into practice in labs and exercises in pairs and groups, before applying them over a series of mini-iterations. The workshop balances taught material with practice, introducing requirement techniques, lightweight modelling techniques, tracking and estimating approaches, design principles, testing practices and refactorings.
LEARN HOW TO:
-
Describe representative agile development processes and common practices
-
Slice up requirements in terms of goals and estimate and plan against them
-
Learn modelling techniques and design thinking appropriate for responsive development
-
Describe how to carry out Test-Driven Development effectively
-
Put concepts into practice
