It was the first time in our ten- year history that we hosted our meetup on a Sunday. \n\n Venkat was an awa rd-winning author\, founder of Agile Developer\, Inc.\, creator of agilele arner.com\, and an instructional professor at the University of Houston. \ n\n He had trained and mentored thousands of software developers in the US \, Canada\, Europe\, and Asia (and finally Ireland!)\, and was a regularly -invited speaker at several international conferences. Venkat helped his c lients effectively apply and succeed with sustainable agile practices on t heir software projects. \n\n Venkat was (co)author of multiple technical b ooks\, including the 2007 Jolt Productivity award-winning book Practices o f an Agile Developer.

What are some of the common anti pattern s that seem to be recurring over and over in code that sucks? By learning about these code smells and avoiding them\, we can greatly help make our c ode better. Come to this talk to learn about some common code smell and ho w to improve the quality of code.\n. \n\n Designing Functional Programs \n \n Functional Programming promotes immutability and the use of higher orde r functions. For those of us who have designed and architected application s using an imperative style of programming and the object-oriented paradig m\, this largely appears like a strange idea. We often ask\, how is it pra ctical to apply these ideas\, realistically to build practical application s. It turns out it's highly practical but we have to change how we design and how we model our systems. Come to this presentation to think about fun ctional style and how to start viewing design to make better use of this w ay of programming.\n. \n\n REGISTRATION NOTES \n\n The Dublin Java User Gr oup meetups are designed to enhance the technical knowledge of attendees\, and due to the overwhelming demand to attend our events they are always f ull. \n\n The organizers and the speaker are giving their time for this ev ent to share knowledge with you at the Dublin Java User Group community\, freely.
