Track: Software craftsmanship
Delivering high quality working software requires hard skills. It takes principles and practices, discipline and good habits. Bringing it all together in Software Craftsmanship is about raising the bar of professional software development. So this year we have invited some of the best speakers that are also very passionate about improving the software development to share with us. At this track you'll learn about the software craftsmanship movement and why it matters, but also loads of other good advice on how to be a better software professional.

Koans and Katas Oh My!
The cornerstone of the top software developers is their focus on knowing their tools and frameworks and understanding ideas from other languages. But how do you do that when you have so much else to do? In this workshop we'll spend a few minutes discussing Code Katas and Koans, and then we'll go hands-on discovering ways to increase your Java, C# or Ruby Fu in addition to learning new languages like Clojure, Haskell and others. Bring your laptop and favorite IDE!
