I'm really looking forward to Scandinavian Developer Conference, and in particular the fishbowl discussion I'll be moderating on the Tuesday at 10:30am. Presenting their views will be Michael Feathers, Andrew Dalke, and Geoff Bache, and the topic under discussion is...
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...
The programme for Scandinavian Developer Conference has just been published. I think we have a fantastic line up of speakers this year. I am particularly pleased Michael Feathers, Brian Marick and Diana Larsen have agreed to join us, and that this year my husband...
I spoke at Smidig2009 about a month ago, and they have now put up videos of all the talks. So I just had the uncanny experience of watching myself speak (here is a link to it). I'm sure my swedish accent sounds better in my head when I'm talking, but I do apparently...
I've just heard that I've been accepted as a speaker at JFokus, in Stockholm in January. I'll be saying something about how to write good tests using Selenium, a tool I've been using a fair amount lately. I'm looking forward to the chance to meet up with the wider...
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 had a fantastic time at XP2009 in Sardinia, but I didn't find time to blog much about it until now. I just wrote a report of my TDD workshop on jsolutions.se.
I'm looking forward to Europython in Birmingham at the end of June. Geoff and I are going to be rather busy at it. They've just published the programme, and between us we are holding 5 sessions. I'm running a "coder's dojo", a "clean code challenge", and Geoff and I...
As I wrote in a previous post, I am organising a workshop at XP2009 called "Test Driven Development: Performing Art". I am very pleased to announce that I have four pairs of expert programmers willing to perform prepared Katas at it! You can read about it here. I am...
I'm looking for some really good coders. People who can write outstanding code, and yet know that however good they are they can always get a little bit better with a little practice, feedback and reflection. The kind of coders that attend a coding dojo and practice...
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.
