Agile Engineering Practices

Date and Time: 
2012 Tuesday, February 21st
Location: 
ML-132 Main Seminar
Speaker: 
Neal Ford

Abstract:

Most of the time when people talk about agile software development, they talk about project and planning practices but never mention actual hands-on-keys, as if development where an afterthought when writing software. This talk drills into the real details of how to do agile engineering. I discuss best practices like continuous integration, pair programming, how developers should interact with story cards, how to handle enterprise concerns like integration with other software packages, and a slew of other topics related to agile software development.
