Color Modeling Improv

, Daniel Vacanti
Peter Coad’s Color Modeling method is a simple, effective technique for building robust, elegant object models. One of the best ways to learn the Color Modeling approach is through an interactive demonstration. In this session, Daniel Vacanti and David Anderson will solicit examples from the audience and—with no preparation and using the Color Modeling approach—build a real, working model for each selected problem domain in the short time given. Both David and Daniel have used this demonstration technique with great success at previous conferences, tutorials, and commercial engagements.
David and Daniel will solicit example problem domains from the audience With the audience acting as subject matter experts, David and Daniel will facilitate the building of a color model that solves each problem domain. The models will be built using colored post-it notes on a flip chart (if a white board is available, that would be preferred) If the audience is big enough, it can be split into two groups with David and Daniel leading one of each groups. Objective will be to build 2-3 real, working models in the time given. The whole demonstration will be hands on with significant participation from the audience. Time permitting, a question and answer session will be held at the end of the demonstration.
