In this Workshop Francesco will develop real world software features in pair programming with you.
In this workshop I will lead the development of a real software application and show you concepts, tools, patterns and practices to grow software in an effective way one feature at a time.
Everything I've learned in years of software development, mentoring and consulting, available to those who want to learn and improve: from theoretical advice to the practice of practices and patterns.
Participants will become aware of the process through which a continuous series of small programming decisions - such as the seemingly simple decision to put an IF - can achieve the emergence of effective design structures.
Together, we will re-invent practices such as Refactoring, Testing and TDD to understand how to grow software incrementally, maintaining maximum quality and delivering the highest possible number of functionalities.
At the end of each session I will set a series of assignments to be completed for the next session.
Your solutions will be analysed and commented by me and discussed with the other participants at the beginning of the next session.
Each Software Adventure focuses on different topics and cases. Therefore if you have already taken the Course, you can take it again and still be able to work on new cases and learn new topics, always with a focus on real-world issues.
Languages. Francesco will work in Java with Eclipse.
Check out the detailed programme for the Anti-IF Software Workshop.
Ideal for newbies and experienced developers, who often think that after so many years of development they do not need improvements, without realizing that they carry with them vices and rigidity that often compromise the effectiveness of their design solutions.

Senior software developer (Contractor) at Nutralete
Since attending this program with Francesco Cirillo, and learning his approach to software design, I have realized that my previous understanding of the topic was not as effective as I once thought. By understanding his approach, I have been able to significantly improve my own software design, benefiting both my team and myself. Despite the fact that my course was focused solely on software design, it has helped me become an all-around better software developer.

Having experienced Francesco’s work and methodology in the past, I wanted to study with him again and try his mentoring program. Amazingly, I was able to regain immediate momentum, motivation, and obtain astonishing results, even though working remotely. This was also due in part to the organization of the sessions, which were always efficient and productive. One of the best investments I have ever made in myself. Thank you!

Being mentored by Francesco wasn’t just your average course, following a pre-designed program involving lessons, topics, and tests which leave you with a lot of ideas but no concrete method to apply them in your daily work. Instead it was like a journey, beginning with my strengths and weaknesses, and following my actual needs in order to find my own path to becoming a better developer. In this course, Francesco guides you along the way gently; giving advice, and warning you of possible roadblocks you may encounter, while at the same time letting you explore on your own. This made the lesson much more difficult than your standard course, as it relied mainly on my own efforts and abilities, but the outcome was definitely much more productive and worthwhile than anything else I have yet experienced.
