This session will focus on an introduction to Next.js, the new Sitecore JSS SDK for Next.js, and a demo of the developer experience.

Sitecore Headless Development with Next.js

Showing off what is new in JSS 16.0, the latest release of Sitecore JSS.

What's new in Sitecore JSS 16.0

Mob programming is a software development practice that brings together three to five developers all working on the same thing at the same time. There's one computer, one keyboard, one task, and one group of people working together. Thomas Desmond uses mob programming full time on all production software because of the quality of the software produced. His team consistently has no reported bugs in production, and at one point they went a year and a half with no reported bugs in production. Join Thomas as he shares what mob programming is, what it is like to be a mob programmer, the benefits we get out of it, and some negatives about it as well. You'll leave excited about mob programming and thinking about how you can apply its principles in your own environments.

The Life of a Mob Programmer

This episode of the DevEd podcast is joined by special guest Thomas Desmond. Thomas is a software engineer currently working with .NET and Angular, has been a university instructor for three years and has a course coming up on Thinkster.io – Creating an API with ASP.NET Core. He defines ASP.NET, and describes its relation to ASP.NET Core. He explains the process of working with .NET on a Mac, differences between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Mac 2019, and the learning curve involved in C# and types languages such as TypeScript.

In this episode we discuss with Thomas Desmond (https://twitter.com/ThomasJDesmond​) about the benefits of mobbing, the pros and cons of multi-mobbing vs. solo mobbing, and his experience teaching a mobile development college course via mobbing. 

The Benefits of Mob Programming

At my organization, we mob program on all production code. We work as a group on a single task designing, coding, testing, and releasing all together. The most important practice that comes along with mob programming is the Driver Navigator paradigm. The driver is the person at the keyboard and the other members are navigators. For an idea to be implemented one of the navigators must be able to explain the idea in English for the driver to implement. This paradigm ensures that an idea can be explained and everyone else in the group can hear and comment on the idea before it gets into the code.
