venue_details nil About ZH Brewing Company The founders at ZH Brewing Company have a simple concept: foster a community built around a brewery restaurant. Both the beers and the restaurant have their roots in German brewing and culinary traditions. ZH Brewing Company customers will enjoy the same feeling of belonging in the family-friendly restaurant as they would in the traditional houses of Germany. The restaurant will offer a very fresh and handmade menu, with foods procured from local suppliers. Our goal with the brewery is to make the best German-style beers on the West Coast; the best Gluten-Free beer in the US; quaffable, session-style American beers that still interest the beer connoisseurs; avant-garde beers or recreations of extinct World beer styles to put our beers in an historical context.

description For any code base there comes a time when you want (or need) to change it. If your changes are extensive, it’s easy to get lost in a jungle of dependencies or on a sea of broken code. Ultimately, you might just give up and shove it away under the legacy label. Instead of doing that, use "The Mikado Method," a systematic approach to reclaim your code. The method helps you visualize, prepare, and perform business-value focused changes, while delivering, and without having a broken code-base in the process. It enhances team communication, collaboration and learning, and helps individuals stay on track. http://mikadomethod.wordpress.com/book/ For: Lead developers, architects, programming coaches, or anyone who wants to get some serious hands-on practice on how to work their way out of messy code while keeping the delivery frequency and business value focus. Join Ola Ellnestam, founder of Agical.se and author of The Mikado Method, as he leads the group through exploring techniques for restructuring difficult-t0-work-with code. Ola likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because that’s how new insights are created according to him.
