Clean Code and the Software Craftsmanship movement

Agile software methodologies have pervaded the past decade of software engineering, particularly in the web and mobile worlds. These methodologies, however, place a greater onus on the individual software developer to refine their craft, seek continuous learning, and develop more efficiently. Many effective and powerful books have been written on these topics, including The Pragmatic Programmer, Practices of the Agile Samurai, and Clean Code. In this talk, we introduce the concepts of writing “clean code” and challenge developers to care not only about the functional correctness of their code, but the “beauty” and how it leads to desired –ibilities (like maintainability, extensibility, adaptability, etc etc)
