Legacy Code: Learning To Live With It
15 likes1,424 views
The presentation given at the ACCU 2009 conference. Synopsis... Legacy code. You can't live with it. You can't live without it. Well, you can't avoid it, at least. Spend long enough in the software factory, and you'll inevitably run into other people's old code. And of course, none of this old stuff is any good. It's nothing like the high quality software you craft. Pure tripe. Let's be honest, sometimes you might even stumble across some of *your own* old code, and embarrassing as it is, you have to admit that you don't know how it works, let alone how to fix it. This presentation will look at practical strategies for working with "old" crufty code. We'll see how to: start working with a completely unfamiliar codebase understand old spaghetti programming make correct modifications prevent bad code from causing more pain in the future

Working with legacy code
Working with legacy codeGunnar Peipman This document discusses working with legacy code. It begins with an introduction of the author and an agenda. It then defines legacy code as code that is already released to users, lacks tests, and is messy. Legacy code arises from death march projects, unskilled developers, impossible deadlines, bleeding-edge technologies, and more. To address legacy code, one should write readable, testable code, refactor, avoid hacks, study patterns, improve skills, and clean up any messes found. Processes for individuals involve finding issues, investigating, refactoring, and validating, while processes for teams include code reviews, agreeing on solutions, redesigning code, and validating. Patterns, testing, quality assurance,

希望通过这个演讲，可以让听众明白如何在遗留代码基础上通过简单有效的设计和隔离来给新代码添加单元测试，从而让团队停止产生相应的技术负债。而且，如何拥有具备可测性的设计和做到有效的隔离，并不像有些人想的那么复杂和困难。
Adding Unit Test To Legacy Code
Adding Unit Test To Legacy CodeTerry Yin This document discusses principles and practices for unit testing legacy code. It covers background on large, old software projects with complex code. The motivation is to facilitate changes, not find bugs. Principles include keeping tests simple, not adding tests to bad code, avoiding assumptions, stopping legacy code creation, and educating others. Practices include setting up a framework, domain modeling, identifying hot areas to start, using a bottom-up approach, learning functions through tests, and making code testable by refactoring dependencies. The document advocates bringing order to chaos and finding fun in learning features and deleting code.
Unit testing legacy code
Unit testing legacy codeLars Thorup Unit testing and test-driven development are practices that makes it easy and efficient to create well-structured and well-working code. However, many software projects didn't create unit tests from the beginning.
In this presentation I will show a test automation strategy that works well for legacy code, and how to implement such a strategy on a project. The strategy focuses on characterization tests and refactoring, and the slides contain a detailed example of how to carry through a major refactoring in many tiny steps
Working With Legacy Code
Working With Legacy CodeAndrea Polci The document discusses strategies for working with legacy code, which is code inherited from previous developers or older versions that often lacks tests and good documentation. It defines legacy code and outlines challenges like poor structure, dependencies, and lack of tests. It then provides approaches for modifying legacy code like identifying what to change and test, breaking dependencies, writing tests, and refactoring code in small, tested increments. Specific tactics are presented like using seams, sprouting methods, and interfaces to break dependencies and allow testing legacy code. The importance of understanding the system and increasing test coverage before making changes is emphasized.

Stash - We Code Together
Stash - We Code TogetherSven Peters Coding is simple and great if it's just you working on the code. It is getting much more complex when a whole team or even several teams are working on the code base. You want to be sure, that everybody knows about code changes, the quality is the same all over the code base and a merge shouldn't stop the whole team from working. Atlassian's tools can help you out.
This presentation shows how you can use Stash and Bamboo to happily code together in a team. You don't have to worry about broken builds on your master branch or that your graduate accidentally merges his changes that get automatic deployed. Everybody understands each part of the code base and the code got reviewed before it hits your master branch.

It explores options like PhoneGap, DojoX Mobile, Sencha Touch, and Titanium Mobile before concluding that for Android, a native approach using Java and XML is best despite requiring more coding. Key frustrations mentioned include lack of cross-platform support, slow performance, and difficulty modifying frameworks. In the end, the document acknowledges native development allows for proper scrolling, back button handling, and other platform-specific functionality, even if it means taking on more coding work.

It provides definitions of beauty from ancient Greek, romantic, modernist, and post-modernist perspectives. The document then discusses how the Greek and modernist views of minimizing complexity and removing unnecessary elements can provide a good basis for code beauty. It defines code beauty as bringing pleasure to readers, making writers and collaboration happy, and leading to fewer bugs and better quality. Examples of beautiful code provided are the Smalltalk class collection for its elegant reuse of core implementation methods.

Stood at the bottom of a mountain looking up
Stood at the bottom of a mountain looking upPete Goodliffe My ACCU 2010 conference presentation on software developers learning.
The talk synopsis was:
How to get up to speed with new technology, fast.
The fun thing about software development is that there's always something new to learn, something new to do, and a new way to stretch your capabilities. A software developer should never stand still. If you stand still, you stagnate. The more senior you get, the more pressure there is to be able to pick up new technologies and hit the ground running. However, its hard work to move onto new pastures and be immediately effective.
Starting with any new technology is like standing at the bottom or a huge mountain, and looking up at the summit. You're not sure how far away it is, let alone how to get up there.
In this talk, we'll explore how to start climbing, and how to make sure your ascent is as fast and effective as possible. And we'll see how to ensure you don't fall off on the way up. We'll consider how to quickly get up to speed with new technologies, new languages, new environments. And we'll investigate the winning approaches and attitudes that'll help you reach the summit.
QC Merge 2012: Growing community
QC Merge 2012: Growing communityLB Denker Etsy is an online bazaar for handmade goods, and one for the key aspects for the site itself is the Etsy communities and sub-communities that have and continue to form and grow. The Etsy development community is the group of smart engineers that grow and maintain the site that helps to facilitate these amazing Etsy communities. While these engineers are very smart, you should recall the old adage, "A stupid person is someone who never learns from his mistakes, a smart person is someone who learns from his mistakes, and a wise person is someone who learns from other mistakes." At Etsy we embrace learning from mistakes and sharing with others so that they may learn from these mistakes as well because we also know that no one is perfect. Here, I will share several of the bumps along the way that took us from being small to large and still growing with more community and emphasis on culture, all while maintaing that small startup feeling.

Becoming a Better Programmer
Becoming a Better ProgrammerPete Goodliffe Keynote from ACCU 2015 conference (http://accu.org/index.php/conferences/accu_conference_2015)
@petegoodliffe
www.goodliffe.net
Synopsis:
You've come this conference to improve your skills. You're here to learn: to learn new technologies, to learn new techniques, and to fuel your passion by meeting like-minded people.
Becoming a better programmer means more than just learning new technologies. It means more than practising techniques and idioms. It's about more than passion and attitude. It's the combination of all these things. That's what this session will look at.
Pete Goodliffe, author of the new book Becoming a Better Programmer, unpacks important mindsets and techniques that will help you improve as a programmer.
You'll discover specific tools that will help you review your current skillset, and you'll learn techniques to help you “become a better programmer”.
Words in Code
Words in CodePete Goodliffe A presentation given at ACCU 2014.
As software developers we do not just write code. We write many, many words too.
We write documentation, comments, manuals, specifications, technical articles, wiki documentation, and more. Maybe even magazine articles and books.
This talk discusses some practicalities of writing well, both stylistically and practically. We'll talk about prose, but also about the right "geek" way of writing, the storage formats, toolchains, and the storage of our words.
We'll cover:
- writing style
- what's appropriate: what to write what not to write
- keeping track: "source control" for words
- toolchains: what toolsets to use to write and prepare output
- markup languages vs "wysiwyg" tools
- sharing your words with non-geeks
At the end of this talk, you'll have a good idea how to put together an example "document toolchain" taking source-controlled words in a humane markup style, and creating high-quality HTML, PDF (fully styled, print-ready) ePub and Kindle output, as well as Word-friendly versions.

The presentation discussed principles of conscientious coding, including avoiding unnecessary generality, ambiguous ownership, and subverting existing patterns. It used various exhibits to illustrate these principles and concluded with final observations on coding best practices.
Advanced iOS
Advanced iOSPete Goodliffe iOS is a great platform to work on, and many developers have spend some time looking at the platform. This talk is aimed at programmers with prior iOS experience who want to get into iOS in more depth.
This presentation will take you from a basic level of understanding of iOS to look at advanced topics that will make you apps more polished, better designed and, ideally, more successful.
Abstract concepts are no use, so in this talk we'll take some existing successful commercial iOS applications as a case study, and see how a selection of iOS technologies and techniques combine within it.
On the way, we'll see:
* How to use Objective-C language facilities to their best advantage
* How to exploit key iOS technologies to save you time and effort
* iOS development idioms that will improve the quality of your code
* Creating "universal" iPhone/iPad/retina applications without going mad
* Successful deployment and testing strategies

HCL Nomad Web wird als die nächste Generation des HCL Notes-Clients gefeiert und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie die Beseitigung des Bedarfs an Paketierung, Verteilung und Installation. Nomad Web-Client-Updates werden “automatisch” im Hintergrund installiert, was den administrativen Aufwand im Vergleich zu traditionellen HCL Notes-Clients erheblich reduziert. Allerdings stellt die Fehlerbehebung in Nomad Web im Vergleich zum Notes-Client einzigartige Herausforderungen dar.
Begleiten Sie Christoph und Marc, während sie demonstrieren, wie der Fehlerbehebungsprozess in HCL Nomad Web vereinfacht werden kann, um eine reibungslose und effiziente Benutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten.
In diesem Webinar werden wir effektive Strategien zur Diagnose und Lösung häufiger Probleme in HCL Nomad Web untersuchen, einschließlich
- Zugriff auf die Konsole
- Auffinden und Interpretieren von Protokolldateien
- Zugriff auf den Datenordner im Cache des Browsers (unter Verwendung von OPFS)
- Verständnis der Unterschiede zwischen Einzel- und Mehrbenutzerszenarien
- Nutzung der Client Clocking-Funktion

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...
TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
