By accident she started the x-Driven Design meme (TDD, DDD, BDD…) and along the way authored two popular object design books that are still in print. In her work, Rebecca helps teams hone their design, architecture and thinking skills, manage and reduce technical debt, and adequately address architecture risks. In addition to coaching and personal mentoring, she conducts workshops on Responsibility-Driven Design, enterprise application design, agile design skills and thinking, being agile about system qualities, and Agile Architecture. Rebecca is program director of the Agile Alliance’s Experience Report Initiative and on The Hillside Group board. Recently she has written patterns about sustainable architecture, agile software quality, and adaptive systems architectures. She blogs at The Responsible Designer (http://wirfs-brock.com/blog/). If you are interested in writing about your experiences or sharing your wisdom in pattern form, contact Rebecca. She can help you turn your urge to write into the written word.</p> </div> <div class="podcast-chapters"> <h6>Chapters:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="#!"> - Dave introduces the show and Rebecca Wirfs-Brock</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's running practice</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How running is like writing software</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Opportunity costs</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How and why Rebecca became an author</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's introduction to object-oriented programming</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's marriage and Allen Wirfs-Brock</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - School, women in software, computer science as a discipline, and changes over time</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How Rebecca got started in software and interested in design</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca shares thoughts on the nature of design</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's story of failure - unrealistic expectations</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Advice for making expectations more realistic</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Cognitive psychology and understanding perception; the importance, virtue, and skills of selling ideas</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Presentation of options in trying to sell ideas</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca shares thoughts on the nature and value of patterns</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The importance of design consistency</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's success story - Responsibility-Driven Design, contributing to a shared vocabulary, and influence</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's book recommendations</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How Rebecca stays current with what she needs to know</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Rebecca's top 3 tips for delivering more value</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Keeping up with Rebecca</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-resources"> <h6>Resources:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="http://wirfs-brock.com/blog/" target="_blank">Rebecca's Blog</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.wirfs-brock.com/Design.html" target="_blank">Responsibility-Driven Design</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201379430/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations - Rebecca Wirfs-Brock</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0136298257/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Designing Object-Oriented Software - Rebecca Wirfs-Brock</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/episode-163-eric-elliott-purpose-and-impact" target="_blank">Eric Elliott on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.wirfs-brock.com/allen/" target="_blank">Allen Wirfs-Brock</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/episode-013-carl-franklin-just-be-awesome" target="_blank">Carl Franklin on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QyKN45KpLs" target="_blank">"Fear is the path to the dark side"</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201633612/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software - Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears" target="_blank">Goldilocks and the Three Bears</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.c2.com/?PrematureOptimization" target="_blank">Premature Optimization</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/episode-114-robert-martin-master-craftsman" target="_blank">Uncle Bob Martin on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="https://8thlight.com/blog/uncle-bob/2014/05/08/SingleReponsibilityPrinciple.html" target="_blank">Uncle Bob Martin on The Single Responsibility Principle</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/AnemicDomainModel.html" target="_blank">Martin Fowler on Anemic Domain Model</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321125215/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software - Eric Evans</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0134434420/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Domain-Driven Design Distilled - Vaughn Vernon</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-book-recommendation"> <h6>Rebecca's book recommendation:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0374533555/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321834577/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Implementing Domain-Driven Design - Vaughn Vernon</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-tips"> <h6>Rebecca's top 3 tips for delivering more value:</h6> <ol> <li>Make sure you understand what someone wants, not what you think they want</li> <li>Don't assume others have the same values as you</li> </ol> </div> </div>
