Seattle.rb Refactoring & BDD presentation

On Plasticx Blog 5 months ago.

I made a presentation on Refactoring & BDD at Seattle.rb back on 10/09/2012. I put my slides and notes from the presentation up on Speaker Deck.

Seattle.rb - Refactoring & BDD Presentation

Some quick takeaways ...

Problem Domain

The less your problem is understood, the more complicated your solution is likely to be. This is one of the reasons why we refactor code - we increase our understanding of the problem domain and increase our abilities to apply solutions to the domain as time goes by.

speakers.io will connect speakers and conferences

On omgbloglol 6 months ago.

As a speaker and organizer, I look at services like Speaker Rate and Lanyrd and see the value somewhat. There's a lot of information available on there and it's a pretty neat way for a speaker to build a profile. I think if I attended more conferences rather than speaking or organizing them, I'd probably derive more value from it. But I've always felt that they weren't serving the right audience (or that the right audience in my mind wasn't intended to be served …

Slides from my Belfast Ruby talk

By Inglis of Zach Inglis 6 months ago.

…design accessible to everyone if they want. Developers don 't NEED to know design, but if they want to - they shouldn't be afraid to learn it. I want to foster a community that makes design accessible for developers, and development easy for designers.

We can't get this damn audio/video conferencing thing to work

By Ann of Signal vs. Noise 10 months ago.

- Speaker phone & screenshare via IM. Works great if there's only one remote person. We need more people involved.

- Google Hangouts. Yup, we investigated it. Great service, but it's limited to 10 people, unless you want a public hangout, which we don't. (Sorry, it's not personal)

- GoToMeeting & WebX & Join.me. GoToMeeting works great for our Basecamp classes . They're all great if we have one speaker.

- AdobeConnect. We need …

Announcing the 2012 Lean Startup Conference in SF

By unknown of Lessons Learned 11 months ago.

* Speaker nominations. We're particularly interested in hearing from people we don't yet know who have teachable experience implementing lean startup practices. Some of those folks might be speaker newbies. At the same time, we want really engaging presenters. So we've created a short nomination form where you have to include a link to a video of the speaker. Our preference is for videos of speakers in action at a conference, meetup, Ignite or anywhere else they're …
