The Coding Dojo is a workshop where everyone joins in as part of the team. Participants will learn and discuss Agile Development by collaboratively building a game in Flash. A single project is displayed for the whole group to discuss, while students continuously pair up to work 15 minute shifts on the code.
This is a beginner level workshop, and while any Flash Actionscript 3.0 knowledge is welcome, students do not require it to attend. Come to the Coding Dojo and you're sure to pick up the basics.

This workshop costs £5, and places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available now from http://codingdojo.eventbrite.com

The Coding Dojo is part of Skillsweek (www.skillsweek.com). Skillsweek is part of the London Games Fringe, a festival of alternative gaming events at the end of October 2008, organised by artists, academics, gamers, game developers, educators and creative professionals from a wide range of different media: www.londongamesfringe.com

However, the creation and modding of pen and paper board games has been found to be a very effective focusing tool, forcing you to get right down to the rules and gameplay of a project.

Game design consultant James Wallis will lead you through this one day workshop, going from basic design principles all the way to a playable prototype in one day.

The Skills Week Game Design Workshop will take place on Thursday the 30th of October, at 01zero-one college in Soho.

This workshop costs £5, and places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available now from http://gamedesignworkshop.eventbrite.com

The content is applicable to a wide audience, ranging from school teachers and university lecturers to students and hobbyists who want to pick up basic game development skills, as well as study and pass them on to others.

Participants will learn the skills needed to produce a complete level in one day, by each producing a small environment from scratch using the Unreal Editor. These skills will include level geometry, mesh decorations, texturing, lighting techniques, and using actors to manipulate game AI.

The days programme will alternate between short lectures demonstrating technique, and development time coupled with one-on-one tuition and discussion.

It deals with three important technical aspects of Agile software development.

Pair Programming. To many people, especially in senior management, pair
programming seems completely counter-intuitive. Surely, by getting two people to do the job of one person you're just halving your productivity? A substantial body of research shows quite the opposite - that pair programming doesn't reduce productivity, but maintains productivity whilst substantially reducing the number of serious defects that are later found in the code. This course covers the very good reasons for introducing pair programming and how to deal with some of the potential objections. It also deals with how to start pair programming - what are the do's and don'ts and provides course participants with some hands-on experience of programming with other people.
Test Driven Development. The practice of writing a failing automatic test for each piece of software functionality that is added to a system, together with a script that can run all of these tests has many beneficial effects on the process of software development. This course gives participants experience of writing tests and then coding against them using the well-known testing framework JUnit.

Re-factoring. As software development progresses on a project, code gets messy and changes in one place cause unexpected problems in others. Re-factoring accepts the reality that code gets messy over time and builds on the advantages of TDD (test-driven development) to allow principled clean up of code. Course participants will be given a chance to clean up the kind of horridly entangled bits of code they might experience and be shown the possible benefits of re-factoring for the ongoing support of the codebase.
Attending this course will allow you to: get hands-on experience of three
important technical aspects of Agile – Pair Programming, Test Driven Development and Refactoring.

Suitable for: Software developers and leaders of software development teams.

Working knowledge of the java programming language required.

Agile principles are relatively straight-forward and easy to understand, but introducing any new methods into a complex work and business environment is always a difficult and delicate task. This second level course uses a combination of case studies and activities to give senior management, programme and project managers the skills that they need to introduce Agile into their own working environments.

Issues dealt with in this course include:
· Helping senior management understand Agile
· Showing the benefits of Agile to your customers
· Introducing Agile methods into to your development team
· Managing Iterative Development
· Understanding how Agile changes project risks
· Fitting Agile methods inside conventional project management methods such as
PRINCE2

Attending this course will allow you to: get the best out of Agile methods in your own working environment and convince those that you work with of the benefits of Agile.

Suitable for: senior managers, project and programme managers, client relationship
managers, business development and sales people.

Are you involved in the specification, purchase, project management or delivery of an IT or web-based project? If so, you need to know about Agile methods.

Agile methods, are a group of new techniques which make it easier to deliver IT and web-based projects in environments of uncertainty and constant change. Did you ever try to plan a project but things didn't go quite as you expected? Agile methods are designed to deal with that kind of experience. They emphasise the delivery of projects in short iterations: the end of each iteration, priorities can be re-ordered or new ones can be added making sure that you are always delivering to the client the things that they value most.

This introductory course will give you an immediate feel for the difference that working using Agile techniques can have for the IT projects that you work on.

Attending this course will allow you to:

* Provide the most value in the work that you do for you client.
* Plan your work in short iterations.
* Deal with new and unexpected information and changes as a project progresses.
* Improve your estimates of how long work will take.
* Deliver what you say you'll deliver, when you say you'll deliver it.

Suitable for people working as either a producer or project manger or software developer in any new media or software development environment. Also suitable for
people involved in the specification and procurement of software.

No programming skills required.
