PORTLAND, Ore., June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Agile Alliance (www.agilealliance.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the advancement of Agile software development principles and practices, today announced that Corey Haines will lead a two-part, one-day technical coding exercise at Agile2012 (www.agile2012.com) that will focus on improving software design skills. The session will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn through hands-on experience in a highly interactive, fast-paced and challenging workshop based on focused-practice events for test-driven and interactive design.

"Our goal is to offer a wide range of topics and experiences at Agile2012, and the addition of more technically oriented sessions like Corey's will provide a deep, rich technical experience for this year's attendees," said Mitch Lacey, Agile2012 conference chair." Just as Agile continues to evolve so too will the topics, sessions and workshops presented at the annual Agile Conferences."
