Is Paired Programming Really Worth the Cost: A Case Study

You may have heard enthusiasts rave about the benefits of paired programming. In this session, we'll analyze a real-world case study focused on measurable results. Two teams under a daunting, business-driven deadline collaborated to develop a single product using separate programming practices - one pairing, one not. This resulted in an organic study that illuminates challenges and lessons around developer measurements. Discover if what you've heard about paired programming is REALLY true, how to prepare for this new way of working, and effective data-gathering tips we learned along the way.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Your Dev Team

In an industry overflowing with information, new and constant change, the power of simplicity is often overlooked. So much of our work depends on clean and focused code, but for maximum benefit, you should be applying the same approach to the processes surrounding your work. In doing so, you can create an environment where your team functions better and is filled with joy.

Level Up Your Junior Developers

Our industry is brimming with new talent, but the difference between a good and bad mentor is monumental for a new developer's career. While every developer has the opportunity to impact their team in this way, many pass on the change because they find it to be boring, tedious, or they don't think they have enough to offer. We will cover not only why you should take a role in helping grow your team's talent, but also proven strategies to do so successfully.
