![]() This month's first speaker was Andy Burgin, the founder of the Leeds Devops group, speaking on that very topic in the 30 minute slot. Andy was followed by Seb Rose who discussed what makes a unit test good or bad. Andy took the audience through the history of the devops movement while telling the group about 5 definitions of devops and discussing the problems devops attempts to resolve. It was demonstrated, that as with many development practices, the culture around devops is hugely important. Andy suggested that it is not a good idea to try jumping straight in with automation, but allow a culture to develop which can then be supported with technology. ![]() The evening ended with the monthly prize draw and drinks in the Midnight Bell. Thanks to all our volunteer team who make the event happen and finally thanks to main sponsors Callcredit and NewRedo and to our prize sponsors O'Reilly, JetBRAINS, Manning, Wrox and PluralSight. See you next month, |
