Presentation Proposal
-
Submitted by: garble10701 person liked this proposal.
Now that flexible, iterative process methodologies have proven themselves in the world of software development, the broader business community is taking a stronger interest in approaches like Agile, Scrum, and TDD. Increasingly, managers are coming to recognize that these practices have the potential to improve productivity and reduce risk well beyond the realm of engineering. Not surprisingly, though, most organizations find it very difficult to develop a conceptual framework that will serve as an effective foundation for transformation on this scale.
In my presentation, I will show how Ruby's structure, design patterns, and commonly used techniques offer a rich set of metaphors that can provide a road map for the creation of a truly agile enterprise. Topics will include duck typing, classes as objects, mixins, method_missing, exception handling, and introspection.
In addition, I will show how the need to transform non-technical functions has the potential to bring an enormous new set of opportunities into the professional domain of software developers and architects.
