In The Brain of Simon Brown: Good code isn't enough
Good code isn't enough
Writing code is easy. Writing good code is still relatively easy if you know what you're doing. Yet delivering quality software on time and on budget is a whole different story! Some software teams are just happy continuing to work the way that they've always done whereas others will jump on every new process and technology that they can lay their hands on. Successful delivery is a goal that many software teams still strive for but find hard to achieve, often because they are distracted from focussing on what's important.

In this session Simon Brown, author of the Software Architecture for Developers Workshop and Enterprise software developer will look at why delivering a successful software project requires more than simply choosing some technology and throwing it together, showing how you can take the best bits from traditional and modern approaches to form a structured yet lightweight approach to software development. The session will cover the complete end-to-end software development process; from planning, gathering requirements and software architecture through to the effective use of source code control, automated unit testing, continuous integration and load testing. Good code isn't enough.

Simon Brown's software architecture for developers

This course is about broadening your software development skills and has been designed to take full advantage of the technical knowledge that you already have. Simon Brown's software architecture development course will make you more 'architecturally aware', and will help you to build better software. It's about pragmatic and real-world software architecture rather than academic "ivory tower" software architecture and is presented by Simon Brown. To find out more, please go here

Kevlin Henney & Jon Jagger's Deliberate Practice Days

How do you develop expertise? Peter Norvig writes: "The key is deliberative practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it, analysing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting any mistakes. Then repeat. And repeat again." For a developer, deliberate practice means trying new things, trying old things with a view to making them fresh and trying to move from accidental practice to intentional discipline. Deliberate practice improves technical agility through increased self awareness. Find out more here
