Junior DEVELOPERS don't have ALL the skills REQUIRED for industry
We can fill the gaps including personal effectiveness, giving and receiving feedback, XP and TDD.
 S&A’s Junior Developer 4 Week Booster Programme
Designed by industry CTO’s to provide additional, real world, relevant skills training to your junior developers, as well as your employees already undergoing a traditional software developer apprenticeship
We’ve designed a focused 4 week training programme to help your junior developers (and other technology staff) Â deliver value faster. Our programme helps to take the onboarding and training burden away from your in-house senior developers (who are already overloaded with critical tasks) and enables you to turn your existing available talent into enthusiastic, effective team members much quicker.
Engineering Managers have told us that they want a focus on people skills, agile and XP practices and software craftmanship to nurture a build it, ship it, support it, DevOps style mindset.
People Skills
Personal effectiveness, Radical Candour, Navigating conflict, Story telling. These aren’t soft skills, these are the behavioural and personal skills to navigate team interactions and communicate effectively.
Agile, Lean, XP and Flow
Agile isn’t dead. It’s a mindset of delivering value little and often, responding to feedback and continuously learning. We explore team values, minimising WIP, identifying bottlenecks and effective agile processes.
Software Craftmanship
TDD is more than just red, green refactor it’s about evolutionary, emerging architecture and doing exactly what is needed to fulfil the customer need.
Through our Pragmatic Programmer book club we instil the principles of YAGNI and clean code.
DevOps
Build it. Ship it. Support it. Secure it.
We introduce infrastructure-as-code, finding problems before your customers, incident management and security by design.
Delivered by leading industry coaches
