Workshop: "Health and Hygiene in the Modern Code Base"

Time: Friday 09:00 - 16:00 / Location: Training 5

We all know what good code looks like and we know what our current code looks like. But, do we know what normal is? What code is most likely to be and how it comes to be that way. In this workshop, Michael Feathers will lead you through a series of code readings, and convey measures of code quality across a number of domains. You will leave with a realistic sense of the limitations of code as a medium, and the areas where we can legitimately expect excellence and promote practice to foster it.
