Make Better Software is a comprehensive, six-week training curriculum for software teams of all sizes.


You'll learn some of the key precepts of software development from Joel's renowned website Joel on Software, and see them in action at Fog Creek Software's New York City headquarters.

The course is divided into six modules. Each module includes:

  • material to read in advance
  • a one-hour DVD to watch together
  • supplemental reading material for areas where you want to go into more depth
  • suggested discussion topics for students
  • and even multiple-choice quizzes on the material covered.

It’s a great way for software development teams to learn about some of the successful practices that have made Fog Creek successful. See what's included.
