First Code Driven Development meet-up in Antwerp
Yesterday night the first "Code Driven Development" meet-up took place at the Krimson office in Antwerp (Belgium). Around 30 people were attending the meeting, most of them to learn more about this new "hype". Nuvole shared its experience in the field presenting "First Steps in Code Driven Development", both an introduction and a collection of tips and examples for a quick start.
For more read our introductory blog post on Code Driven Development.
Straight after the presentation people were participating in an Open Space about the topic.

Nuvole chose the following two sessions:
- S.O.S. Features: beginner session about features and code driven development where we had the chance to answer people's more specific questions about the flow showcasing real-life examples from Nuvole's projects.
- Base Features: session focused on features re-usability and followed by a brainstorming about how features should be designed in order to be more extendible and re-usable.
Then time was up and I had a train to catch. Thanks everybody for the great inspiring evening and, especially, to all the Krimson folks for putting this together.
About the author
Born and bred in the south of Italy, Antonio started using Drupal from its 4.2 release while working as a researcher at the University of Milan.
In 2006 he was appointed as webmaster of Erasmus Student Network, one of the largest student organization in Europe. Together with Andrea and Peter, he launched the ESN Satellite project, a Drupal-based template for student organizations: more then 250 ESN sections all over Europe run their website nowadays using the ESN Satellite.
In 2007 he moved to Brussels to found Youth Agora, a non-profit organization advocating the use of open-source software among the broad European international NGOs world.
Increasingly stronger involvement in the Drupal community and a growing demand of Youth Agora partners for more target oriented cooperation led in 2008 to the constitution of Nuvole, a Drupal shop specialized in working with international NGOs.
Antonio lives today in Brussels together with his girlfriend Magda.

I've been using the same
I've been using the same approach in all my recent projects with Drupal (usually big ones with distributed teams, so...) in order to make the collaborative development actually possible as well as the deployment painless. I was also supposed to present this stuff at the latest DrupalJam in Amsterdam, but then my previous employer kind of prevented that. Well, anyway, it's great to see that also other people have figured out "the way".
Good job guys. Keep it up.
