The Infoq Podcast

In this week's podcast Richard Seroter talks to James Shore, author of The Art of Agile Development and one of the original signatories of the Agile Manifesto. Also on the podcast are Llewellyn Falco, creator of the open source testing tool ApprovalTests and co-founder of Teaching Kids Programming, and Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, inventor of Responsibility-Driven Design, as well as the author of books including Designing Object: Oriented Software and Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities and Collaborations. Why listen to this podcast: - A lot of people know how to do TDD and refactoring for the back end, but not for the font, but the basics are the same. - The basics of Test-Driven Development are the same for the front or back end. - If you don't know what's wrong, you don't know how to fix it. - The most common code smells, according to Llewellyn Falco: Clutter, long lines, long methods, duplication, and inconsistency. - How do we make, in an agile way, the architectural work visible, and not ignore it? -
