XP2010 workshop and lightning talk

by | Feb 14, 2010 | Conference information, Review

I’ve just heard that two of my proposals for XP2010 have been accepted, which means I will definitely be off to Trondheim in early June. I’ve heard Trondheim is very beautiful, and the XP conference it usually excellent, so I’m really looking forward to it. It will actually be my 8th XP conference!

I’m going to be running a half day workshop “Test Driven Development: Performing Art”, which will be similar to the one I ran at XP2009, (which I blogged about here). I’ve put up a call for proposals on the codingdojo wiki, so do write to me if you’re interested in taking part.

The other thing I’ll be doing is a lightning talk “Making GUI testing productive and agile”. This will basically be a brief introduction to PyUseCase with a little demo. Hopefully it will raise interest in this kind of approach.

Perhaps I’ll see you there?

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.
