Webinar: Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software Development
Abstract
Our industry is at a major turning point; moving away from waterfall-style development methodologies and toward lighter-weight, Lean-Agile development. This brings great promise. However, it also creates interesting questions. What is the role of design in an Agile process? How much design is enough, and how much is over-design? Are patterns still relevant, with TDD and refactoring gaining momentum throughout the industry? read more »

Who is this course for
Developers, testers, designers, architects, technical leads, and those who manage development teams will all benefit from this course. Individual developers have taken this course at our facilities, and we have delivered it repeatedly onsite for companies like Microsoft, Sun, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Vanguard, Disney, GMAC, Texas Instruments, Safeco, Unum-Provident, Atlas, etc.
Prerequisites
This is a design course, not a coding course. However, knowledge of an object-oriented language (Java, C#, C++, etc.) is important in order to understand the various implementation options we investigate. Net Objectives has online assessments for students who are uncertain about their knowledge level, and online training tools that can help prepare you to get the most out of the course.
What customers say about this course
“I was close to quitting this business out of frustration, and I only took the course because my boss told me to. Now that I see what’s been wrong in my thinking, I’m totally confident that my career is back on track. I can’t wait to get back to work! This course has changed my life; I just wanted you to know that.”
– A student’s verbal comment at the end of the first delivery of this course
