Introducing Neal “No Fluff, Just Stuff” Ford
Thoughtworks, a global software developer company with 1,800 people in 10 countries, is running a day of Agile Engineering Immersion. Neal “No Fluff, Just Stuff” Ford, a Director, Software Architect, and Meme Wrangler at ThoughtWorks, will be coming to South Africa to add Tech4Africa to the 300+ developer conferences he has addressed.
A bit of a language geek, Neal’s affections include Ruby, Clojure, Java, Groovy, JavaScript, Scala and C#/.NET. He, and the wider ThoughtWorks team, will look at behavior-driven development, test-driven deployment, continuous delivery, problem solving and the Agile method.
