In The Brain of Allan Kelly: Agile Cornwall case study: How the EU is helping Cornish companies get Agile
Agile Cornwall case study: How the EU is helping Cornish companies get Agile

Software companies exist everywhere - even in remote regions like South West England. Since 2010 software developers in Cornwall have benefited from an European Union supported Agile adoption programme. Companies producing medical devices, e-commerce solutions, video streaming systems and bespoke embedded software - to name a few - have been helped to adopt Agile development.

This case study will look at how the programme came to be, what the companies did to get Agile and the lessons have been learned from introducing Agile to more than 10 companies. Finally we will discuss how the programme could be a model for future Government support to the software industry.

Uncle Bob's Clean Code: Agile Software Craftsmanship

Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organisation to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way? This is a two-day hands-on course in which you will learn the principles and practices of Clean Code as described in Robert C. Martin's book: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. You will also receive this book as part of the course materials. This Clean Code course alternates between lecture and exercise so that you can experience, first-hand, the practices and disciplines of these fundamental topics. here
