#xpman95 – #NoEstimates Goldfish Bowl Discussion
We’re revisiting a topic we have debated at #xpman before, but way back in November 2014, #NoEstimates.
This session isn’t a formal debate as such, but a group-wide discussion in the tried and tested goldfish bowl format.
Bring your questions and bring your devil’s advocates.
Please note, as per the announcement from Madlab last month, we will no longer be meeting at Edge Street, but Plant NOMA.
6:30 for a 7pm Start – 10/05/2018
#xpman 94 – Introduction to Design Thinking
Come along and try out our workshop exploring the process of Design Thinking and Human-Centered design with Colin Preston (@colinpreston).
The session will be fast-paced and split up into several tasks. You will be working in small groups in a fun lively environment so be prepared to get stuck in.
During the session, we will explore divergent and convergent thinking, a fundamental concept of design thinking.
Doors open at 6.30 to start at 7.
Tickets available here.
#xpman 93 – Legacy code refactoring
This month we have an exercise in refactoring legacy code from Kieran Hewitson. The code looks like someone has done a TDD kata without the refactor step throughout, so has nested if statements and the like. The session will be about writing some tests that cover the code and then work on refactoring it without breaking it.
Bring along a laptop. Doors open at half 6 and we’ll be starting at 7.
