Abstract:
You know that testing is important. You know that you should be testing every line of code that you write. You’ve heard a lot about Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven development, and you know how those things work. Yet, you still struggle with implementing those practices in your daily workflow, especially on existing projects.
Does that sound like someone you know? Perhaps even you? If so, then you’ll want to attend this month’s CVREG event, where M. Scott Ford from Corgibytes, LLC will share some advice, principles and techniques that will help you make progress towards your goal of having nothing but clean code.
Bio:
M. Scott Ford, the Chief Code Monkey at Corgibytes, LLC, has been writing software for over fifteen years. He has a passion for solving problems, strategic thinking, and writing quality, clean code. Over the years, Scott has become fluent in a wide variety of programming languages, such as Ruby, C#, Objective-C, Java, and even some obscure ones like Modula-2. His work experience is wide ranging, from mission-critical projects in both the government and private industry to hand-coded websites for non-profits. Almost every project where Scott has had input has benefited from his test-centric approach to developing software. He holds a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He currently resides in Richmond, VA with his fiancee, two cats, and his dog Ein (a corgi, of course).
