Are you a good Code Scout Scouts are taught to be adventurous, considerate, thoughtful, effective, diligent, ingenious, thorough, earnest and effective… All of these qualities are ones that we should be striving for as a Developer. This talk intends to prove that being a Good Scout and being a Great developer are are pretty much the same thing. It will take you through the types of actions and attitudes that are taught to millions of kids aged seven to eighteen and compare it to what you should be practicing every day to make you a better Developer. I'll tell you all the things you need to know to earn your very first Code Scout badge.
