Pragmatic Software Development Solutions
We offer TDD (test-driven development), design, programming, and agile-related training courses, delivered on site for your convenience at competitive rates. Our classes are taught by real practitioners with hardcore, extensive development-team experience.
Our students leave the classroom jazzed and ready to apply their newfound knowledge. Some of them tell us this is the best training they've ever attended.
We want to make sure you succeed with your development efforts. We believe a strong qualified coach can make the difference, by ensuring firsthand that students retain and ingrain their new skills. We offer hands-on consulting by recognized industry experts, led by Jeff Langr and his partners. We are veterans of the agile community; Jeff has worked to help teams understand and succeed at agile since 2000.
As developers, we've been able to consistently deliver high-quality software. We've helped teach and mentor hundreds of developers how to do the same. We've written highly acclaimed books and over a hundred articles on agile, TDD, pairing, programming in Java and other languages, and OO design.

New blog post, "C++11: Using Lambdas to Support a Times-Repeat Loop"
06 March 2013Tired of writing that classic for-loop for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) simply to execute a chunk of code n times? Tired of reading it, and occasionally missing an important detail (such as for (int i = 0; i < total; i++))? In " C++11: Using Lambdas to Support a Times-Repeat Loop," Jeff blogs about how you can use the new C++11 lambda construct to support a simplified and less error prone times-repeat loop.
New blog post, "C++11 Via TFL (Test-Focused Learning): The Range-Based For Loop"
19 February 2013Jeff Langr posts a new blog article in the TFL series, "C++ 11 Via TFL (Test-First Learning): The Range-Based For Loop," The range-based for loop provides a simplified construct for iterating over a collection of data.
New blog post, "C++11: Sum Across a Collection of Objects Using a Lambda or a Range-Based For Loop"
18 January 2013
Jeff Langr posts a quick-hit article designed to answer a very specific question. "C++11: Sum Across a Collection of Objects Using a Lambda or a Range-Based For Loop" quickly demonstrates two succinct ways to total into a collection using C++11.
New blog post, "C++11 Via TFL (Test-Focused Learning): Uniform Initialization"
16 January 2013C++11 provides a number of refinements that bring the language up to the modern age. In a new blog post, "C++11 Via TFL (Test-Focused Learning): Uniform Initialization," Jeff Langr explores the uniform initialization scheme of C++11. This post, first of many to come on the new C++ features, expresses the new features almost entirely via unit test code.
