Panel: Charles Max Wood Alyssa Nicholl Joe Eames Special Guests: James Shore In this episode, the Adventures in Angular panel talks about Agile Fluency with James Shore. James is one of Charles’ favorite people to talk to about Agile development because he is one of the people who really understands how people work, instead of the methodology proliferation that is more common. They talk about how Agile got started, the Agile Fluency Project, and how Agile has changed over the years. They also touch on TDD, the things people can do to solve the problems with Agile misconceptions, and more! Show Topics: 1:10 – James has been on the shows previously on Ruby Rogues Episode 275 and My Ruby Story Episode 48. 2:00 – He does a lot of work with agile, but actually got started with something called Extreme Programming. 3:14 – When Agile started, it was a reaction to the management belief that the right way to develop software was to hire armies of replaceable programmers and a few architects to design something that was then sent off for these programmers to work. 4:34 – Agile is turning into the “everything” thing. It is being used in many different spaces and leaving developers behind in the process. This goes along with “the law of raspberry jam.” 6:55 – The agile manifesto states that they value “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” 7:28 – The Agile Fluency Project is focused on software teams and they created the Agile Fluency Model, which is a way to describe how teams tend to learn Agile over time. They want people to be able to see what all they can really get out of Agile through this project. 10:05 – Alyssa is more confused on the subject of Agile development and is interested more in what people lost by not using Agile anymore. 11:45 – Agile changed from a grassroots movement driven by developers to a management structure that programmers ignore unless it affects their day-to-day. 14:18 – Test driven development is a way of writing your code so that you have confidence to change it in the future not a way you can get unit test code coverage. 17:36 – Joe defines TDD as a way to help him design better code and he finds value in using TDD and then once the code is done, throwing out the test and still find value in it. 19:50 – TDD creates better code by forcing you to think about the client who will be using it and it forces you writing code that is inherently testable, and therefore, better code. 22:22 – The values of Agile development have not been communicated to the programmers who are forced to use it, which accounts for the push back against it. 24:40 – The issue across the board is when people take and idea and think they can read a headline and understand it fully. 28:17 – The way to combat this problem is to dig into some of the things that was happening 15-20 years ago and you can look into DevOps. You can also look into the Agile Fluency Project and the Agile Fluency Model. 31:24 – To get started with talking about how you should do Agile from the trenches, you can look into the books Fearless Change by Mary Lynn Manns and More Fearless Change by Mary Lynn Manns to help you to learn how to make change within your organization. 35:18 – Planting seeds allows you to make change within your organization and make a difference in a small way. 36:10 – The easiest way to remove some of these obstacles is to get together with your team and get them to agree to a trial period. There are more ways as well to get over obstacles. 43:07 – The reason he became an Agile developer is because after his first job working with it, he never wanted to work any way else. So, he decided to start teaching Agile in order to keep working with it in his career.

Really liked Ruby’s aesthetics Very much a “feel” kind of person Fun, new, and welcoming community with Ruby How starting off with Basic has affected him now How did you get into security, Rails, and Brakeman?

Sean is a developer that five years ago quit his job to do his own thing and work on different projects such as Sketching with CSS, Angular Escape Plan training, and consulting. He first got into programming when he had an idea to create things such as rooms and spells in his MOO game. They talk about how he got into professional style programming, how he got into drawing with CSS, why he created the Angular Escape Plan, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Ruby Rogues Episode 203 Sean intro Works with Angular, React, Vue, and many other frameworks Focus on front-end How did you first get into programming?

Panel: Charles Max Wood Shai Reznik Ward Bell Special Guests: Neil Brown In this episode, the Adventures in Angular panel talks to Neil Brown about learning to code and learning to code better. Neil works as a research fellow at Kings College in London where he works in computing education. He is very interested in how people learn to program and also making tools that make learning to program easier. They talk about things that experts can do to help new people pick up programming easier, how you can use live programming to teach novices, and the importance of having a supportive community. They also touch on what he has learned from his research, the necessity of practice over time, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Ruby Rogues Episode 257 Neil intro Learning to code better What kind of things can we do to help new people pick up programming easier? Experts operate differently than novices How an expert codes VS how a novice codes Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andy Hunt Putting yourself in a new programmer’s shoes Experts forget how much knowledge they’ve got How do you need to design instruction for novices? Live programming Seeing that people make mistakes along the way all the time Keep the mistakes Computer science degree VS self-taught VS boot camps People learn differently Element of having a supportive community Do you see any threat to people transitioning to online schooling? The curse of knowledge What have you learned in your research? You need a lot of practice Helps to have spaced practice The best way to learn Ten quick tips for teaching programming by Neil Brown And much, much more!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Nadia Odunayo This week on My Ruby Story, Charles talks to Nadia Odunayo. Nadia was previously on Ruby Rogues Episode 264 and she used to have her own podcast called Ruby Book Club. She first got into programming because when she was in college she launched a creative writing publication and she was frustrated that she had to keep asking others for help. This was when she started researching coding and how it all worked so that she could put her ideas into action. They talk about Ruby being the first programming language she learned, the importance of learning both the frontend and the backend, her desire to run her own thing, her need to find a company that would support her learning, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Ruby Rogues Episode 264 Ruby Book Club How did you first get into programming? Hated having to ask other for help Studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at University Code First: Girls Have you done much with your degree? Her first talk as a junior Ruby developer Economics is about how people behave Was Ruby your first programming language? Learning HTML, CSS and the Ruby and Rails Frontend VS backend How long was the program? Learning Ruby first and the pros to that Sinatra Do you feel like the boot camp prepared you to be a full-time Ruby developer?

Claudio works for Erlang Solutions where he is a developer consultant, working with customers on long projects, and he has been working full-time with Elixir for the past 3 years.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Claudio intro Works at Erlang Solutions Ruby Rogues Episode 208 Is there one thing that stands out to you as the easiest thing to fix? People pick up this language quickly Repetition Excited about OTP Pattern matching People come from Ruby background to Elixir How do you address people who won’t put the effort in to learn OTP Rare to find greenfield projects now Building blocks Reading the sources Do you recommend beginner dive into OTP or should they postpone getting into it? It’s okay to postpone The missing link Is the domain model inherently concurrent? Concurrency is not always an obvious tool Elixir Process Thinking about what needs to work no matter how your infrastructure is affected by problems Elixir gives you a lot of tools to make your code more available Elixir syntax And much, much more!
