Topic: We have 2 Topics:
Topic 1: Crap Code
Topic 2: Credit Crunch Code – Paying Back the Technical Debt |
Speaker: Phil Winstanley
Topic Description: Crap Code
There you sit, it's a Wednesday morning and before you is the code another developer has left you. At first you can't believe your eyes, perhaps you misread it... No ... He really did write it like that ... Crap Code.
In this session we'll explore Crap Code that we've come across in the past few years of Consulting, the problems it causes and the solutions to the idiocy of other developers. You'll laugh, you'll cry - but most of all, you'll come out of the session realizing you're a pretty good developer.

Speaker: Gary Short
Topic Description: Crap Code
|
Technical debt is the cost of putting off good development practices. This debt, must be paid back to avoid the "interest payments" becoming crippling.
This presentation will further define technical debt, before examining some anti-patterns and how to avoid them. We’ll then look at how to put a financial cost on technical debt, and end by examining some measures.
