Ivan Moore, Team Optimization Limited
Ivan Moore has been programming for over 20 years and yet he still
regularly makes mistakes. That's why he's interested in test driven
development, refactoring, iterative and incremental development,
continuous integration, and drinking tea. He has a PhD in automated
refactoring (1996), and has presented papers, tutorials and workshops
at numerous international conferences, such as OOPSLA, XP, XPDay,
ACCU, TOOLS and ECOOP. He works for Team Optimization as a project
manager, coach, developer and tea boy, helping teams to "get agile".

Presentation: "Programming In The Small"
Time:
Wednesday 13:00 - 14:00
Location:
Abbey Room
Abstract: Code quality matters. Not everyone writes great code. Some developers
keep habits which they learnt when writing code in languages which
forced styles (e.g. declaring all variables at the beginning of a
function) which are no longer appropriate to the language they are now
using.
Some developers think that only the architecture matters and
small details like code aren't important. In this interactive
tutorial, Mike & Ivan will work (real, live coding!) through a series
of small refactoring exercises, each designed to bring out a
particular learning point from Ivan's "Programming in the Small" blog
series
(http://ivan.truemesh.com/archives/cat_programming_in_the_small.html).
Attendees will see that by applying a collection of quite small scale
refactorings, code ends up being significantly easier to read and
modify. The programming language used will be Java.
