The document encourages readers to write down their goals in different life areas and provides principles for accomplishing goals, including thinking about obstacles, support needed, and visualizing success.
Make your Life Easier with Scripting - Nick Ruffilo (Aer.io) - ebookcraft 2019
We waste weeks of our lives every year doing repetitive tasks over and over again. What if you could save yourself all that time by automating things with a few scripts? Easily translate data, execute multiple commands at once, get your time back to do what really makes you valuable. During this hands-on workshop, Nick Ruffilo will come prepared with a few template scripts for handling tons of different common problems and will take live audience feedback and walk participants through the thought and coding process to automate whatever it is that has been asked for. The templates and code created during the session will be provided back to the participants.

Katas, Contests and Coding Dojos
Katas, coding dojos, and coding contests can help programmers improve their skills through repetition and experimentation. Katas involve practicing individual coding exercises based on martial arts training techniques, and can help programmers learn new languages, tools, and ingrain good habits like test-driven development and refactoring. Coding dojos are events where programmers work on katas together in teams, while being observed to ensure good practices like test-first development are followed. Contests involve programmers solving problems or "sparring" to further improve their skills through competition.
Backlog busting
The document provides guidance on prioritizing a product feature backlog by scoring features based on three criteria: demand, difficulty, and impact. Features are given a score from 1 to 3 for each criteria, with 3 being the highest. These scores are then combined to calculate an overall "backlog busting score" that determines the order features should be built, with higher scoring features prioritized first. The author encourages the reader to start building the highest scoring features.

Rails in the Large - Neal Ford
ThoughtWorks developed one of the largest Rails applications in the world for a client called OVE.com. They started with 2 developer pairs and grew to 11 pairs plus other roles like business analysts over time. They learned that responsiveness to business needs is more important than technology choices, and that demonstrating work trumps arguments. They also automated testing, deployments, and other processes to help scale the large codebase and team.
Tech Talk @ Dev Bootcamp Chicago
Fred Lee, CIO/CTO of Enova, gave a presentation to recent graduates summarizing the key skills needed for software engineering in the real world. He discussed that the ability to learn, use proper coding practices like testing code, and understanding existing systems are the most important skills, rather than what is traditionally taught. Real-world programmers must have humility to keep learning from doing, communities, and going to events. They should focus on testing code over design and spend more time reading code than writing it to understand existing systems that software needs to integrate with.
Do Try This At Home Ajax Bookmarking, Cross Site Scripting, And Other Web 2 ...
This document summarizes Brian Dillard's talk on emerging web technologies and how developers can participate in shaping the future of the web. The talk discusses the tensions between standards and proprietary technologies, and encourages developers to build things using emerging draft standards while they are still evolving. It provides suggestions on how developers can get involved through open source contributions, bug reporting, and following discussions on specification drafts and browser implementations.
Sacrificing the golden calf of "coding"
Chris Heilmann gave a talk at BTConf in Munich in January 2018 about machine learning, automation worries, and coding. He discussed how coding used to refer to creative programming within technical limitations but now often refers to programming for work. He addressed common worries about new technologies and dependencies, and argued that abstractions are not inherently bad and help more people build products together through consensus. The talk focused on using tools to be more productive and enabling rather than seeing them as dangers, and creating solutions for users rather than fighting old approaches.
Clean Code Part III - Craftsmanship at SoCal Code Camp
When building a house, good architecture and craftsmanship together form the needed crucial elements for success. The same pattern applies to software development. As the previous sessions focused on the architectural part of software development, this session will strongly focus on often forgotten but very important areas of coding.
You will learn why naming is really difficult if done right, why coding and style guidelines are crucial, code structuring, exception handling and why other elements of coding often define the tipping point between success and failure of projects. Following the principles of software craftsmanship will allow you to end up with better maintainability and extensibility of your software and the success of the project in the end.
All 3 Clean Code presentations provide great value by themselves, but taken together are designed to offer a holistic approach to successful software creation.
Why writing Clean Code makes us more efficient
Over the lifetime of a product, maintaining the product is actually one - if not the most - expensive area(s) of the overall product costs. Writing clean code can significantly lower these costs. However, writing clean code also makes you more efficient during the initial development time and results in more stable code. You will be presented design patterns and best practices which will make you write better and more easily maintainable code, seeing code in a holistic way. You will learn how to apply them by using an existing implementation as the starting point of the presentation. Finally, patterns & practices benefits are explained.
This presentation is based on C# and Visual Studio 2010. However, the demonstrated patterns and practice can be applied to every other programming language too.
From TrainedMonkey to Google SoC mentor – How to become an OOo developer
The document discusses the author's path from working on smaller open source projects like libwpd to becoming a mentor for Google Summer of Code with OpenOffice.org. Some challenges of contributing to OpenOffice.org included its complex codebase and lengthy build times. The author advocates improving modularity, providing coaching for new developers, and streamlining contribution processes.
Taming Big Balls of Mud with Diligence, Agile Practices, and Hard Work
Big Ball of Mud (BBoM) architectures are viewed as the culmination of many design decisions that, over time, result in a system that is hodgepodge of steaming and smelly anti-patterns. It can be arguably claimed that one of the reasons for the growth and popularity of agile practices is partially due to the fact that the state of the art of software architectures was not that good. Being agile, with its focus on extensive testing and frequent integration, has shown that it can make it easier to deal with evolving architectures (possibly muddy) and keeping systems working while making significant improvements and adding functionality. Time has also shown that Agile practices are not sufficient to prevent or eliminate Mud. It is important to recognize what is core to the architecture and the problem at hand when evolving an architecture.
This talk will examine the paradoxes that underlie Big Balls of Mud, what causes them, and why they are so prominent. I’ll explore what agile practices can help us avoid or cope with mud. I’ll also explain why continuous delivery and TDD with refactoring is not enough to help ensure clean architecture and why it is important to understand what is core to the architecture and the problem at hand. Understanding what changes in the system and at what rates can help you prevent becoming mired in mud. By first understanding where a system’s complexities are and where it keeps getting worse, we can then work hard (and more intelligently) at sustaining the architecture. This can become a key value to the agile team. The results will leave attendees with practices and patterns that help clean your code (refactor) as well as keeping the code clean or from getting muddier.
Additionally, I’ll talk about some practices and patterns that help keep the code clean or from getting muddier. Some of these include: Testing, Divide & Conquer, Gentrification, Demolition, Quarantine, Refactoring, Craftmanship and the like.. The original Big Ball of Mud paper described some best practices such as SHEARING LAYERS and SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG as a way to help deal with muddy architectures. Additionally there are some other practices such as PAVING OVER THE WAGON TRAIL and WIPING YOUR FEET AT THE DOOR that can make code more habitable.

This document provides an overview of a project to design and prototype various robot avatars and buddies with low degrees of freedom that are expressive, engaging, and fun. The goal is to create 10 initial concepts that could be built at low cost and rapidly prototyped in 3D to iterate designs. Students would work with researchers from TAMK Social Robotics to visually design crazy and amazing robots, model them in 3D modeling software, rig and animate them in Unity3D, and create video demos or games to showcase the robots.
Androides y Mazmorras. Part I (dungeons & robots)
This document discusses refactoring code and managing technical debt. It provides tips on when to refactor such as when code duplication, large classes or methods are detected. It also discusses balancing refactoring with timing in the development process. Code metrics are presented on various code bases to identify areas for refactoring such as files that are frequently changed or have high complexity. The importance of communication when refactoring and getting outside opinions is emphasized. Refactoring is described as improving code design without changing external behavior.
Mike lydon tc_roadshow_deck
The document discusses leveraging open innovation and community participation to help modernize enterprise software. It outlines that open innovation requires building a community of solvers, establishing workflows and challenges, and providing proper incentives. For modernization specifically, it notes that it is tricky due to lack of documentation and patchwork code, but that open innovation can help by decomposing and organizing legacy code through iterative and continuous creative challenges. The benefits of open innovation include redundancy, parallelism, selecting the best solutions, and shifting mindsets.
Resisting The Feature Creature
Presentation at the Geekmeet in Craiova, Romania talking about the adoption of APIs and libraries as a way to prevent unmaintainable products.
How to Teach Yourself to Code
The document provides guidance on learning how to code by teaching yourself Ruby on Rails. It recommends starting with Rails as it is the easiest framework to learn and allows building prototypes quickly. The document outlines a "brute force" learning approach of speeding through introductory tutorials to get exposure to concepts without worrying about not understanding everything the first time. It also recommends resources like Codecademy, Ruby Koans, and attending local meetups and hackathons for support during the learning process.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
