Brandon is sharing his talk from CodeMash and discussing the 4 Rules of Simple Design. The rumor is this was a great talk, so we hope you can make it.

The 4 Rules of Simple Design were coined nearly two decades ago by Kent Beck. They’re a wonderful set of guidelines for thinking about how to write complex software in a simple and maintainable way. Simple designs 1: Pass all tests 2: Express every idea needed 3: Say everything once and only once 4: Have no superfluous parts. We’ll walk you through some real-life examples of how CoverMyMeds (where Brandon works) tries to abide by these rules while building a complex product.

From there we'll head over to the Fox & Hound and continue the discussion. We have a room reserved along with darts and billiards for those who would like to partake.

Canton Software Craftsmanship is a community event for software developers to get together and hone their craft. Events will involve hands-on coding, speakers, and community involvement.
