Most application developers think the database is an impediment to agile development. Pramod will show how to apply agile practices to databases. How the data team can contribute and stay productive in today's software development environment and to influence the software being developed long before its deployed on the database being managed by the DBA. How to integrate the database tasks with the development team, reduce friction with the database team and deploy the application and the database in an automated fashion.
Pramod will show how to apply these practices to the database:

• Pair Programming applied to database tasks.
• Continuous Integration with databases
• Refactoring of databases
• Behavior Driven Database Development (BDDD)
• Automated Testing
• Automated Deployment of Database Changes

This is a hands-on workshop. We will be using Oracle11g as our database, Ant as our build tool, Java as language of development, Subversion. Attendees will get to code, refactor databases, check-in-out changes from subversion and see CI builds being done by Jenkins. Please bring your laptop with tools to work with the above tech. stack.
