Sessions at Software Architect 2011 about Technical Debt and Anti-patterns on Wednesday 19th October

Technical debt is the cost of putting off good development practices. This debt must be paid back to avoid the “interest payments” becoming crippling.
This presentation will further define technical debt, before examining some anti-patterns and how to avoid them. We’ll then look at how to put a financial cost on technical debt, and end by examining some measures to identify technical debt in a code base.
