There's been a burst of activity recently by the team responsible
for the London Python Dojo. If you follow Twitter, you may have
seen that the Dojo now has its own Twitter account:
https://twitter.com/#!/ldnpydojo
which I encourage you to follow for news and updates on the Dojo.
We've also c
Those of us at last week's London Python Dojo had fun hacking together
little animated Game of Life simulators. My team's data model was based on
a set of the alive cells, rather than the world as an array / list of
lists, and its a choice I pushed for having recently read an extremely

People are always banging on about how programming lacks scientific
rigour when it comes to evaluating common practice.
Is TDD *always* faster?

Jonathan,
This sounds like the most awesomested idea for a dojo evar. :-)
And yes, I agree with you in your original post that a vacuum is a bad
thing. Like anything worth doing I suppose it's a balancing act so
people don't feel coerced into methodo

Tell one group the night before the problem, so they can practice 'sleep on

René, that's called Rest Driven Development :-) (Although that can mean "no
sleep allowed until it's done!")
I've also attended an Emily Bache TDD formal dojo as well as Harry
Percival's code-along Test-Driven-Django-Tutorial. Both were really good to
help learn a discipline I personally find it h

It might be worth testing 'hate driven development', a methodology I have
used a few times. That's when you hate the project so much, you do whatever
it takes to get it out the door. Can be surprisingly effective.

It would be amusing to do a randomised trial, well-designed, and submit
the results to some prestigious journal.
Of course we'd probably be turned down. But then again, I bet there are
very few academic studies based on the use of hardened professionals
like us.
Or even ... we could look for pape
I'm happy to provide informal advise on trial design
Power calculations are the starting point for proper RCTs...

There is no one true way of development. The standards my brother works
to on civil aircraft systems, are utterly different from what I
experience in the commercial world - thank goodness.
As a freelancer, I often come into chatoic clients. Heres a method I
sometimes use:
