Track: Software craftsmanship
Delivering high quality working software requires hard skills. It takes principles and practices, discipline and good habits. Bringing it all together in Software Craftsmanship is about raising the bar of professional software development. So this year we have invited some of the best speakers that are also very passionate about improving the software development to share with us. At this track you'll learn about the software craftsmanship movement and why it matters, but also loads of other good advice on how to be a better software professional.

Clean Code I: Arguments
Keeping code clean is a simple matter of professional ethics. In this talk Robert shows how a Java module can start clean, grow to become messy, and then be refactored back to cleanliness. Be forewarned: his session is about CODE. We will put code on the screen and we will read and critique it. And then, one tiny step at a time, we will clean it. In this session you will participate in the step by step improvement of a module.

Fostering Software Craftsmanship
Software Craftsmanship is sometimes dismissed as being only for individual developers and/or boutique software shops. However, the practices and principles of craftsmanship are just as vital and valid to large organizations as individuals. In this talk, Cory will cover practices and approaches for adopting craftsmanship in your organization. We'll cover specific exercises, organizational challenges, and how to influence both organizational and team-level acceptance.

14:15 - 15:05
The Three Laws of TDD
The jury is in, the case is closed. TDD works, and works well. In this talk Uncle Bob makes the point that TDD is not a testing technique at all. Rather, TDD is a way to ensure good architecture, good design, good documentation, and that the software works as the programmer intended. TDD is a necessary discipline for those developers seeking to become professionals. This talk is half lecture and half demonstration. Examples are in Java and Junit.

A Model of Human Behaviour in Software
I'm going to present my model of human gameplay behaviours and how that effects application development. Being a developer is much more than writing nice code... its about building an experience for your users. And, part of that is using gameplay-techniques to make sure your users have a great time and come back again. Even if you never thought of your application as being a game, I'll show you that gameplay is part of every life experience and is coded into our DNA.
