Rediscovering Apprenticeship in the 21st Century
Twin Cities Software Symposium
Minneapolis · March 4 - 6, 2011
About this Presentation
We've all heard about the lack of qualified software developers coming out of the colleges and universities these days. Perhaps the old adage still applies: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.”
Perhaps apprenticeship could be the way to build your team of quality developers.
In this talk we'll look at the principles and benefits of apprenticeship as well as some examples of software companies that are currently using this technique to build highly successful teams.
