Main Topic: Designing Systems That Evolve Quickly and Cleanly
by Jim Moore
Abstract:
Anyone who has worked on non-trivial code knows how quickly code can "rot". In
this session we will look at some practical tips on how the systems you design
and write can get better over time, not worse. Some of the techniques we will
look at are test driven design, the proper use of interfaces and abstract
classes, package structure modularity, etc. In addition to discussing what
needs to be done, tools and examples will be given to help make using the
concepts easy and clear.
Speakers bio:
Jim Moore is a senior developer with Northrop Grumman Corp. He has over a
decade of experience with delivering solutions at all layers of the software
stack, from massive back-end enterprise systems for multi-national
corporations, to basic infrastructure (eg, committer emeritus for the Apache
log4j project), to rich desktop applications (eg, committer for the Spring Rich
project). Intimately familiar with the constant problem of having too much work
to do with not enough time, he has learned the hard way what makes systems
resistant to change, and what makes them grow naturally.
