Clean Code III By: Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob)
Get ready for a challenge as Robert Martin dives deep into the topic of clean Java code by examining what makes a good function. In this talk you will look at a lot of code; some good and some bad. You will experience how such code is analyzed, critiqued, and eventually refactored. You will understand the decisions made by an expert in the field as bad code is gradually transformed into good code. How big should a function be? How should it be named? How should it be documented. How many indent levels should it have? How should it deal with exceptions, arguments, and return values. This talk is all about code at the lowest level. And yet the principles and techniques presented have far reaching implications.
Scrum and Hyperproductivity By: Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob)
Of all the Agile methods, none has captured the attention of the business community in the way that SCRUM has. The simple elegance of it's principles and practices has made it the obvious choice for project managers. The certification also has it's allure. Yet for all it's positives, SCRUM has little to say about technical disciplines. Jeff Sutherland, one of the inventors of SCRUM, has suggested that SCRUM become "Hyper-productive" when coupled with the technical practices of Agile Development, such as Test Driven Development and Continuous Integration. In this talk, Robert C. Martin, founding member of the Agile Alliance, and it's first chairman, talks about how SCRUM can be supercharged through the addition of these technical practices.
