December: Modern Software Development Antipatterns
This session provides a wealth of tips and tricks to free you from the chains of so call "software development best practices". We're not delivering software any more successfully than our forebears! So what's really going on? Well things like Agile and Software Craftsmanship certainly take you down some dangerous paths, and don't even get me started on newer technologies like Scala, Java 7 and Cloud! In the pub after this talk you'll be able to discuss points raised such as:
- Mortgage Driven Development
- Turtles All The Way Down
- Conference Driven Delivery
- Pokemon Patterns
- The awesome power of the AbstractFactoryFactoryManagerBuilderSingleton class
