In case you missed it, the video of the first webinar in the PureType SHARE series - Structured learning for software developers - is now available. (also available on LinkedIn)

Continuous software developer education requires a culture of sharing knowledge, and there are a great many ways in which to do that.

Here’s an outline of what was covered:

• SPOC analysis - how to analyze systems through a framework that goes through Symptoms, Problems, Options and Choice. It helps you move from passively observing symptoms to understanding underlying problems, exploring options and making informed choices

• Structured learning options - we looked at four representative options for structured learning in teams - tutor groups, lunch and learns, lecture courses and tech guilds

• Principles of effective knowledge sharing - namely:

  • Anyone can help others learn, regardless of their position in the organization.

  • Learning together as a team is a system that can be improved over time.

  • Effective solutions should involve the right people, present information in an understandable way, provide enough context for independent learning, and allow for clarification through questions and discussions.

  • The choice of knowledge sharing method should consider factors such as team size, effort required, and the likelihood of the knowledge changing over time.
