DESCRIPTION:The effectiveness of your team is limited by your communication
 . To be a great developer we need to be able to express ideas into code. T
 o be a great developer on a team we need to be able to transfer those idea
 s and that code between other humans.\n\nIn this workshop we will be focus
 ed on improving our own teams by improving our own communication. We will 
 learn how to give more effective and meaningful code feedback\, how to bre
 ak complex ideas down into simple jargon free components\, and we will dis
 cuss how we can build better teams and streamline our development processe
 s.\n\n            \n                  Justin is a developer\, educator\, s

  Ruby\, RVM\, RBENV\, a GUI. Let’s get a couple of sensors: motion\, 
 temperature\, humidity\, tsunami\, ectoplasm and see if we detect a cool t

DESCRIPTION:You have likely heard of test-driven development. In many circl
 es it's touted as the only way to write software. Indeed\, TDD is a powerf
 ul tool in writing software that not only works\, but continues to work as
  time and features pass. However\, when learning to test-drive software\, 
 you're often left confused about where to start and which direction to go.
 \n\nThis talk will provide some some gentle advice about TDD as we interac
 tively iterate on an app starting with a proposed feature\, adding tests\,
  building the implementation\, and refactoring to the final solution.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:We have all experienced moments when our app does not work as e

  becoming unavailable. When this happens\, our code ends up becoming defen

 we could simplify the process and model our code as a succession of comman
 ds\, with only success and error paths?\n\nWe'll work to refactor bloated 
 logic. We'll extract and group code into meaningful objects called command
 s.\nThese commands will then be chained to handle success/failure and pass
  data.\n\n            \n                  Benjamin Roth is a Ruby and Java
