Fail forward: Development of Reproducible and Reusable software is a learning experience

Developing reproducible and reusable software involves establishing software engineering practices. This represents a cultural change for since new ways of doing software development needs to be learnt, experience and agreed upon. In this talk we will focus on what Software Engineering is. How encapsulation, modularization, testing will influence the individual code developer. How code-review, automatic testing and integration testing influence the process within the code development group, especially the need for a permissive learning culture. It should all add up to contribute to a software of higher quality, to the benefit of the community.
