Speaking at IPC 07
I want to take the chance and point you to the upcoming “International PHP Conference” early in November.
There will be a full-day workshop “Practising Agile Development for Beginners” where I will introduce the basics, concepts and ideas behind agile development - focussing on the process and not so much on the tools as there is already an excellent Workshop planned by Sebastian Bergmann covering the most important tools you need like PHPUnit, SeleniumRC and cruisecontrol.
If you are interested in the methods and want to excercise Agile Development then I would be happy to meet you on IPC 07.
Practising Agile Development for Beginners
After a theoretical introduction into the major flavours of agile development, we will work on an example web project using Extreme Programming. The workshop will cover the whole project life cycle, but with more emphasis on planning and steering the project than on coding. Team motivation and practical tips from management side will round up the day.
Furthermore there will be a short Session where I will talk about the learnings and experiences I’ve made using eXtreme Programming the last years in various teams.
Tales from the eXtreme side
Exercising eXtreme Programming in larger PHP projects has provided many interesting experiences. What about refactoring? How is the team performance influenced by pair programming? And what happens when time pressure increases. Where is the difference between theory and practice? Some insights from the real world.
