Training Workshops

These training workshops bring industry proven techniques together in a clear and practical way. Dwayne Read shares ~20 years of experience in applying the Agile and OO principles and practices through these workshops. We examine real-world case studies, undertake exercises and group activities as well as share many of the "tricks of the trade" in applying or working with these techniques.
