Olympia Software Craftsmanship Workshop

Submitted by Jim Andersen on Tue, 05/05/2009 - 10:03am

You're at work and you catch yourself writing another 100 line method that you can't test and really can't even understand. You scour the internet for ideas but there are so many ideas. Some say don't test some things, others say don't test anything, still others say test every keystroke! You just let your head drop to your desk with a solid thud. You think to yourself, "Is this really the best I can do?"

The Olympia Software Craftsmanship Workshop is one day workshop, developed with the intention of increasing the level of awareness of practices and skills that can improve our software.

Any developer interested in improving and learning new skills is welcome. If you can bring a laptop, please do. We will provide the software you need. If you can't bring a laptop, don't worry, you can pair up with someone who has one.
