Software as Craft - Call for Speakers

[Justin Campbell]

Software as Craft (http://scphilly.org) meets the last Tuesday of every month at PromptWorks to talk about Programming, Software Craftsmanship, Agile, XP, and many other topics. After the speaker, we pair up and work on a problem. It's a great place to learn from others, and to practice pair programming and TDD.

If you're thinking about giving a talk soon, we'd love to hear it!

If you've never given a talk before, give a lightning talk! It's a short talk with less pressure before/after the main speaker. We'll also have a lightning-talk only night in the next few months.

Some of the topics I'd personally be interested in:

* Abtractions above the code layer, such as service-oriented architecture or domain-driven design

* Mobile-first design, or other ways to approach style and layout

* Emerging or less-popular languages with novel ideas

* Soft topics about teams or organizations

* Property-based/generative testing, or other methods of testing code without explicit unit tests

* Introduction to type theory, or any other introductory computer science topics

* Anything you're passionate about!

Send your topic and available months to jus...@justincampbell.me. Or, pass this on to a friend or coworker!

Thanks!
