The Program is Up
What else is coming up?
Introduction to Functional Programming with Tony Morris
This lead in one-day event for our Lambda Jam Conference in Brisbane provides a hands-on introduction to the principles of Functional Programming. You will solve simple problems using the Haskell programming language, then move up in difficulty as time permits.
Working Effectively with Legacy Code - Michael Feathers
Test Driven Development and Refactoring are powerful tools. With them you can add new code to systems and make existing code more maintainable. However, refactoring code without having tests in place can be hazardous. This workshop presents a collection of dependency breaking and test writing techniques that can be used to get existing code safely under test for refactoring.
Beyond Error Handling - Michael Feathers
It would be easy to say that error handling is a black art in software development but that implies that there is some secret stash of knowledge out there. The truth is that we tend to think of error handling as a "lesser concern." If we know how to throw and catch exceptions, we feel that we are okay. The fact of the matter is we aren't okay. Error handling in applications is often a symptom of incomplete design. This course will focus on techniques you can use to systematically increase the robustness of code by rooting out potential errors and designing them away.
