Expanding on the principles of pair programming \, mob programming uses an entire team to create well designed and imple mented code. Alexander will be going over both the good parts and bad pa rts of mob programming that he's come across in the last 3 years of impl ementation with his team. We'll discuss what everyone's role is in mob p rogramming\, when it's best to attempt it with your team\, and when you might end up experiencing more headache than benefit. \;\n \;\nBio : Alexander Clifford found his way into programming through a somewhat c ircuitous route. With a background in science and cooking he discovered his love of programming almost by accident while searching for his next learning project. Seven years later he now leads the UI Apps development team on Oracle's Infinity product line as a Principle Software Engineer . When he's not programming for work\, he's programming for fun by attem pting to create Skynet\, running around in nature pretending to be a nat ive Northwesterner\, or moving about his kitchen in an attempt to not fo rget all of his prior chef skills. He can be reached at \;\nhttps://w ww.linkedin.com/in/alexanderclifford/ or by using just the right sequenc e of smoke signals.\n\nTags: agile\, agilepdx\, mobbing\, mob programmin g\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250472854 URL:http://www.agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Mobbing Without the Pitchforks LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180924T205525Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180924T205525Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180924T205525Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474299 DESCRIPTION:Mob Programming is a software development practice with many benefits - it raises code quality\, removes knowledge silos\, minimizes mental fatigue\, and more.

But can mobbing work for tech writers? Join us in this social experiment to apply mob programming principles to writing d ocumentation. \;\n \;\nMobbing works on the constraints created by the group. For this joint meetup\, participants will be 100% remote.To join the meetup\, please RSVP at Meetup link\, and we’ll post a meeting link here on the day of the event. \;\n \;\nAs a group\, we will b e presented with a writing challenge. With these constraints\, and any f urther agreements we make\, we’ll use collaborative online tools to expl ore the benefits and challenges of docs mobbing.\n\nTags: Technical Writ ing\, documentation\, documentarians\, support\, open source\, documenti ng code\, agile\, mob programming\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org /events/1250476951 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Write-The-Docs-PDX/events/269536360 SUMMARY:Mob the Docs!
