In this presentation at QCon San Francisco, Kent Beck gives us insight into how he designs software. In his words, he hopes to share:

The current state of my understanding of my own ability to design software. I'm hoping that my experiences will connect with other people's experiences.

Kent starts out by telling us exactly what he means by Responsive Design, and what he sees as the goal of development, and gives his definition of design. 

Kent then goes on to share four design strategies he uses repeatedly:

  • Leap
  • Parallel
  • Stepping Stone
  • Simplification

Watch this presentation to get an inside look into how one of the best developers in the software community approaches software development.
