Our next XpMan is on software architecture with Chris Carroll & Mark van Harmelen
Part I: What is (the point of) software architecture?
A brief flight through software architecture for agile teams. We’ll slow down for the bits that you don’t always learn (or I least I didn’t, YMMV) as a developer, most notably:
- defining, calculating and generally getting a tangible grip on software qualities / NFRs like reliability, resilience, availability, performance, testability, maintainability, security, usability, efficiency and other such not-always-well-defined things.
- a brief history and what’s trendy or useful in architectural views & viewpoints
- Calculating, estimating, validating, quantifying, risk-assessing and generally putting numbers on everything.
Part: II Discussion
When do you pay attention to architecture and get the drawing board out? For what scale of system? Using what notation? What happens to your architectural descriptions over time?
Common Bar from 5pm

We write software for people, yet we fill our code with clever abstractions and helper methods. What if we wrote code that reflected the problem domain? Surely that’d be a good thing?
This talk is an introduction to Domain Driven Design, which is a set of building blocks to write more domain focused software. There will be a practice session too, but laptops are not required.

Fixing a bug that’s made its way to production costs orders of magnitude more than in development.
So how do we keep letting it happen? For February’s XPMan we’re going to be talking bugs.
Bring your war stories of strange bugs you’ve encountered, and how you finally tracked them down.
We’ll also be looking at some effective ways of zoning in on bugs and squashing them.
