Gamify your growth as a developer?

I love to get better as a developer and when I get rewarded for that even better! In this session we'll have a look at ten tools that make our lives as developers easier and along the way allow us to become better as a developer. Services like Github or Bitbucket allow us to communicate with one another about code while Scrutinizer, Code-Climate or Insight can give us valuable informations on how to improve our coding skills and easily bring our code to a better level. Suddenly tedious tasks like writing unittests, reducing cyclomatic complexity and adding documentation can become entertaining and rewarding. All this because we all strive to get high marks, 100% or a green button. So let's see what the benefits of the different tools are and how we can integrate them into our build-chain.

I might consider changing the title a bit to read a little differently. Perhaps something like, "Gamify your growth as a developer?" I'd also consider dropping the "and" and "such" and maybe change the "or" to an "and" from the third sentence.

As @elazar said, I would like to read a mention of these tools in the abstract.

Thanks for the feedback! I've altered the abstract to reflect that.
