Coding Is Like Cooking

A blog by Emily Bache

Smidig 2009

by | Oct 19, 2009 | Conference information

I’m off to Oslo on Wednesday for Smidig 2009. They’ve just announced the programme, which consists of lightning talks in the morning, and open space in the afternoons. I’ll be giving a lightning talk on Friday morning about why you might want to go to a coding dojo. I’m hoping there will be enough interest to run a Randori/dojo in the afternoon. Someone commented that there have been dojo meetings in Oslo before, so I’ll be interested to find out if they do them the same way I’ve been doing them.

The conference talks are mostly going to be in Norwegian, but mine isn’t the only item in Swedish. I spotted Ola Ellnestam (agical) and Thomas Nilsson (responsive) on the list too. So if it turns out that I find spoken Norwegian totally incomprehensible, there will be a few people I can talk to!

Hi – I´m Emily!

I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society.  As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and  “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and  Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest. I am also on Mastodon as emilybache@sw-development-is.social.

If you’d like to know a bit more about me, my work, and the talks and workshops I offer, please visit my main website: EmilyBache.com. There, you’ll find information about my background, upcoming events, and the services I provide as a technical coach and consultant. It’s a good place to start if you’re curious about how I can support your team in improving coding skills and agile practices.
