Barbara and Ansel began working together in May 2012 when they started the CopperSpice project. Their objective has been to develop open source software for the community, by implementing libraries which extend the functionality of the C++ standard. Along the way they realized that in order to write correct code it is not enough to simply know a computer language, you must also be willing to question who you are as a programmer.

Their definition of being a good programmer includes a commitment to advancing your skill set, staying current with the language, and being flexible about the way you approach problems. This requires knowledge which is not traditionally taught in computer science classes.

As their open source software team expanded, they faced an evolutionary process and worked to define a culture of personal integrity and professional responsibility. During this talk Barbara and Ansel will share their process and talk about some of the mistakes they made and what was learned.

They will talk about their views on cutting corners and if this is the right choice. How do you approach a six week project when management or the client only allocates three weeks? Are you comfortable maintaining your own code?

Have you thought about the qualities of a good programmer and if so, do you meet these requirements?
