The 9 Reasons You're Not Apprenticing Anyone
Track: Software craftsmanship, friday 14:15 - 15:05
Ask most great software developers what helped them attain their level of excellence, and they'll tell you a story about a mentor who encouraged, nudged, and/or guided them through part of their formative years. This presentation focuses on solving our shortage of great software developers through developing attitudes and cultures that encourage apprenticeship. Dave Hoover is the author of "Apprenticeship Patterns: guidance for the aspiring software craftsman" and has been studying and implementing apprenticeships for the last five years.
The Principles Behind Groupon
Track: Architecture, wednesday 11:20 - 12:10
Groupon rests upon a foundation built with the moderate application of
many varying processes, philosophies, and buzzword-compliant
technologies. This presentation will address the different ideas that
drive Groupon engineering. Monolithic application design, conservative
adoption of SOA, Domain Driven Everything, Agile-ish processes, advanced
Ruby metaprogramming and anything else that contributed to the fastest
growing company in history, will be covered. Mike Cerna is lead
developer at Groupon, having started on the project in April 2007 during
its formative years as ThePoint.com.
