The Talk::

Database Design Should Be Agile by Ron Ballard

Traditional database design is carried out as a theoretical exercise before any application development takes places. This talk describes a better approach: incremental database design, embedded in the development team and combining strong design principles with the embrace of frequent change, which we manage with version control and automated testing at every release.


Travel::

There is a free car park outside the venue. The venue is also 10 minutes from Canterbury East and 20 minutes from Canterbury West.


When you arrive::

Walk past the pizza company until you see a door on your right. Follow this upstairs to the meeting room. Alternatively someone behind the bar can point you in the right direction. If you arrive before 7 please wait downstairs as myself and the speakers need time to set up :)
