Upcoming Presentation: Smart Code

Update: Tomorrow!

Next week on Wednesday, 17th March, I'll be giving a presentation at the Wellington Dot Net User Group entitled "Smart Code".

Here's the advertising blurb:

It doesn't seem to matter whether we're in an economic boom or a slump, there's always pressure on us to get more done in less time. For us developers, this usually translates into feature pressure - the challenge to get the next feature across the line on time and under
budget.

Simply writing code faster isn't going to get us very far towards this goal, particularly since most of us (myself included) tend to introduce more defects if we rush too much.

I believe the answer isn't to work harder, but to work smarter - to write code that naturally works. In this presentation, I'm going to explore this idea of "Smart Code". You'll take away a toolbox of tips and tricks that I've found to be useful - but more importantly, you'll take away some new ideas on how you can build a toolbox of your own.

Come along if you're interested - the more the merrier!
