Course code: BARR-6

Years with company: 9

Years programming: 20

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: c, asm, imperative, functional

Unit test harnesses: custom, cppunit, catch, other

Something else: blend of EE (MS/DSP) by schooling and CS by work experience and interest... algorithms, firmware, embedded, H/W, S/W, system-arch, OOAD, UML

Test practice now: project/product specific: most recently used catch cpp framework to test C code (x86 target); wrote custom harnesses for embedded products

Target system: depends on the project: DSP + FPGA, x86, ...

Dev tools: gcc variants, MSVC, custom

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices 1st Edition by Herb Sutter (Author), Andrei Alexandrescu

Function too long: when it breaks the Single Responsibility Principle

Code reviews: Code Collaborator, Perforce Swarm

Code time: 80

Test time: 10

Debug time: 10

Favorite thing about dev: search for the truth to find canonical patterns

Least favorite thing about dev: having to maintain/fix spaghetti-code in the name of business interest

Tdd knowledge: - model the client-side before implementing it...

Why are you attending: - get up to speed on current best practices - recognize and unlearn thinking and bias, if need be
