Still working on my talk for Smidig 2008 http://tinyurl.com/43du34 Please send comments to oma@pvv.org
Unit tests usually guide you into writing clean code, but it is also a tool for working with dirty code. Can unit tests lead to dirty code?
@zmalltalker Not attempting world record in number of slides this time :-) Aiming for a fine selection of agile practices for cleaning code
writing a 10 minute lightning talk based on Uncle Bob's brilliant book "Clean Code"
Great interview with Palin http://tinyurl.com/3zfsub
@mfeathers yes, like plastic surgery on a really ugly patient. Even the scars looks good on this patient :-)
Trying to make some really dirty and untestable C legacy code malleable by shoehorning in some unit tests. Leaving scars all over.
Working with a native implementation of single float arithmetic (IEEE 754)
@jhannes It is true that PragProg is a bit dated, but still very relevant. @tfnico is a real programmer, thus PragProg is a must...
@jhannes Like all C coders must read K&R, all real programmers must read "the pragmatic programmer". Even if just for historical reasons...
@tfnico The Pragmatic Programmer is a masterpiece, I suggest you start with that one.
@javatotto Perhaps a 4 day JavaZone cruise with 500 delegates?
@javatotto Most of the scenarios that I come up with about the future of JZ tend to lean toward reducing the number of delegates.
@javatotto JavaZone has a great future. Converting JavaZone into a traveling circus is just one of several path that I believe might work.
just blogged about JavaZone at http://olvemaudal.wordpress...
