Continue your journey toward mastery of Agile Technical Practices at an advanced level, building on what you learned in the fundamental course, learning about outside-in software design, practising more-advanced styles of Pair Programming, applying a mix of TDD techniques,…
Please note: This is an advanced course, therefore, our course ‘Technical Practices: TDD-1’ or a similar course is a pre-requisite!
The course is for software developers interested in learning or improving their knowledge of effective technical practices. The classes can be offered in various programming languages for the demos and the exercises: contact us for details. Please note: These are primarily hands-on courses, and you will need your computer with your development environment of choice.
The training material is in English.

- understanding in more detail modern concepts of agile technical practices
- master the practices of Test-Driven Development (TDD), Pair Programming, Iterative and Incremental Development and Emergent Design
- know how to produce flexible, easily modifiable and maintainable code
- having experienced live and practical exercises for the application and integration of the skills acquired in the class
