Agile Game Development From The Trenches The presentation will describe the agile methods and techniques use at High Moon Studios from a technical perspective. We'll draw on knowledge and experiences of over two years of agile development and point out what works and what doesn't, the big benefits and the sneaky pitfalls. We will focus specifically on programming practices, from controversial ones such as pair programming or test-driven development, to more widely accepted ones such as continuous integration and short iterations. This session will be very practical and applied. Get ready for a lot of nuts and bolts details that will help you experiment with some of those techniques in your own projects.
Takeaway: All the details necessary to start implementing agile programming techniques in game development.
Intended audience: Anybody who writes code. Team leads and management directly involved with programming teams.
