Software Craftsmanship for New Developers
As a new developer, knowing language syntax is important; but just as important is understanding what software craftsmanship is. In this session Chad will talk about what the software craftsmanship movement is all about and why it is important. Chad will also explain important craftsmanship terms like code smells, DRY, and SOLID. Even if you have been developing for a while, this session will be useful to brush up on how not to be a developer but how to be a professional developer.
