Marco Testa

Software Engineer

HotDraw Design Review is really interesting and enlightening. It's really fascinating how design grows as new features lead to the introduction of new objects and new patterns, which are added like the instruments of an orchestra to create a harmonic symphony.

Why HotDraw?

HotDraw is two-dimensional graphics framework for structured drawing editors.

The HotDraw framework was developed in the late 1980s by Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham in Smalltalk.

HotDraw has several incarnations. Most of these implementations were proprietary.

HotDraw is the first application of CRC cards, a well-known technique invented by Ward Cunningham and developed with Kent Beck in the late 1980s as a way of exploring and designing object-oriented software.

HotDraw has also inspired the work of Ralph Johnson (another member of the Gang of Four) on documenting frameworks using patterns and along with Kent Beck on how patterns generate architectures.

About the Trainer

Francesco Cirillo

Francesco Cirillo has worked at the forefront of the software industry for more than 30 years. In a career spanning startups, corporations and freelance consulting, he has mentored thousands of professionals, developers, managers and software teams.

In the 1990s he worked as a Senior Consultant and Mentor for Sun Microsystem, expert in Software Architectures and Software Development Processes and Java and Object-Oriented Evangelist.

Francesco is one of the pioneers of Agile Methods. He started working on XP and TDD in 1999. He was chosen by Kent Beck to develop the XP community in Europe and as reviewer of the second edition of the book Extreme Programming Explained. In 2000 he created XPLabs, the first company in Europe to offer comprehensive services on XP: software development, training and consulting.

In 2007 he created the Anti-IF Campaign to raise awareness in the international community of software developers to apply good design principles to grow software in a sustainable way.

Since 2008 Francesco stopped actively working on Agile Methods and started to develop RRP, a new method of software development. In 2013 he created Cirillo Consulting based in Berlin to offer professional training and consulting on productivity and software development.

Francesco invented the Pomodoro® Technique, a renowned time-management method used by millions of people all over the world, while being a university student looking for a way to get more done in less time.
