Software Craftsmanship and “Uncle Bob”

Craftsmanship and Ethics is a great keynote given in the fall of 2007 at the JAOO conference by Robert C. “Uncle Bob” Martin, guru of object-oriented design, agile development and just plain writing good code. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve just started programming or have been at it for twenty years – if you want to call yourself a professional developer, this one’s a must-watch. It’s just over 47 minutes, which makes for good lunchtime viewing.

Uncle Bob tosses around a lot of ideas about software development in his keynote. I’ll be writing about some of these ideas in future blog entries, and perhaps some of them will end up covered in the Developer Foundations track at TechDays.
