Talk: Mob Programming

If you think pairing programming ( 2 people on 1 computer ) is crazy, hold onto your hats; it’s time for Mob Programming: All the brilliant people working on the same thing, at the same time, in the same place, and on the same computer.

We are going to take a look at a new way of working, what it looks like, and why it can work. More importantly, we’ll have a (very) short session of actual mobbing, so you can see for yourself and come to your own conclusions. See a short demo here.

Speaker: Llewellyn Falco is an agile technical coach who specializes in teaching teams how to slay their legacy code dragons. His style is akin to a personal trainer: working with the teams to create healthy and lasting technical habits. He is the creator of the open source testing tool ApprovalTests, co-author of the Mob Programming Guidebook and Co-founder of TeachingKidsProgramming.org. He is an internationally renowned speaker who has presented over 200 conference sessions since 2009. If you would like to get a sample of him, check out his Practical Refactoring talk.

“[After Llewellyn’s coaching] I have NEVER seen our team work so well together, so much knowledge transfer and productive work!” – Tim Falleur, Healthesystems
