What is Technical Agile?

Solid skills in Technical Agile empowers developers to work efficiently and with confidence in any codebase. Technical agile is based on XP (eXtreme Programming) principles and practices. It is a skillset that enables incremental changes that are safe and gradually improves quality and provides rapid feedback. With strong Technical Agile skills, the software development provides the responsiveness that the business needs to be truly agile.

The skills we practice in this workshop are the basic building blocks of technical agility, e.g., how to test any unit, how to transform hard-to-test code into easy-to-test code, and basic refactoring tools and techniques.

The theory and techniques you learn in this hands-on workshop help you write tests and code any developer, even newcomers, can read and understand! You also learn ways to simplify your business logic and discover emergent architectural patterns in your application simultaneously.
