ApprovalTests is free and currently available for C#, Java, PHP, and Ruby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Refactoring:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0In this workshop we are going to work on a 300 line ball of mud, and experience some new approaches and techniques that will enable you to easily and safely revitalize your legacy code into a thing of beauty little by little.\u00a0After this workshop you will have a practical, hands-on understanding of how small daily improvements improve large-scale projects over a few months. You will see how much your own project at work could benefit from continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"MobProgramming at Mystes\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1z7VPTf\" target=\"_blank\">Helsinki, Finland &#8211; October 23rd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mystes Presents<br \/>\nSTATE OF THE ART PRACTICES<br \/>\nIN AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT<br \/>\nWoody Zuill, Vasco Duarte &amp; Llewellyn Falco<br \/>\nOctober 23rd &amp; 24th, 2014<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Tampere Goes Agile, Tampere Finland<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I am really looking forward to Tampere Goes Agile, October 25th <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1vXa4sb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1vXa4sb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be presenting on Mob Programming, and likely doing a workshop on it as well. \u00a0I&#8217;ll probably be speaking about NoEstimates, and who knows what else. \u00a0As I understand it, this is a free event &#8211; which is pretty cool!<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 1em;\">\u00d8redev Developer Conference<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Mob Programming Workshop at Oredev\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/XYG1W6\" target=\"_blank\">Malmo, Sweden &#8211; Oredev 2014 &#8211; November 4th<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am very pleased to be returning to Malmo and the FANTASTIC Oredev conference!<\/p>\n<p>Experience a full day of Mob Programming and learn the mechanics of how to work together as a &#8220;Mob&#8221;, and explore the underlying concepts that make this form of development so effective for my team.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day we will be tackling a sample project and working on it using a full \u201cextreme programming\u201d approach &#8211; User stories, prioritization, test-driven development, refactoring, and retrospectives.<\/p>\n<p>I will also do a session on Continuous Discovery, \u00a0The Power of Pure Agile, and I&#8217;ll share the stage with Vasco Duarte for a converstation called &#8220;#NoEstimates Unplugged &#8211; A Conversation About Agile As If You Meant It&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And of course &#8211; I&#8217;ll be there and in Malmo for the whole week and I would love to have a chance to meet you and talk about Agile, #MobProgramming, #NoEstimates, or just about anything interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workshops in Finland and Sweden this Fall &nbsp; Public Workshops at Mystes in Helsinki, Finland Along with Llewellyn Falco and Vasco Duarte I&#8217;ll be participating in 4 half-day workshops on the 23rd and 24th of October.
