The view from the posh seats. Got me a season ticket with a padded seat! Sicker than I thought. Despite going back to work, I may not be as cured as I thought I was. The Champion's League games mentioned in the previous post are of course next week. I knew that right! I've been unwell lately and er.I'd been sleeping long hours and er.eh.I thought I'd slept for a week longer ok? SHUT UP AND DON'T JUDGE ME! Posted by mb at 1:16 pm. Watch it tonight: Rangers vs. Inter Milan 7.00pm on ITV4. And Vics Vaposome...

Developing software in a more sensible way. Lean Agile Scotland 2012 – Part 2. November 16, 2012.

UK's first Code Retreat this November
http://www.joejag.com/2009/uks-first-code-retreat-this-november.html
Joejag - Just Another Geek. UK's first Code Retreat this November. Oct 31, 2009. I've been running Coding Dojos. For the Tech community in Glasgow for a while now. A Coding Dojo is a 2 hour coding session where programmers of varied skill levels come together to work on a common task. The task is simple in scope and difficulty. The goal is to learn, teach and improve with fellow software developers in a non-competitive setting. I was approached by Adrian Mowatt. We have selected the Ruby. From 9am to 5pm.

Zifus: Power vs Popularity
http://zifus.blogspot.com/2005/12/power-vs-popularity.html
Saturday, December 03, 2005. Well I didn't expect to jump right into a vigorous discussion about language, but I'll give it a stab. I came across the following article Why Ruby is an acceptable Lisp. As expected the Lisp guys jumped up and shouted "Ruby is NOT a Lisp" with their typical disdain for anything not Lisp. Then followed the expected obscure examples of what Lisp can do and why the Ruby version is *obviously* inferior. What interests me are a couple of things:. C: Operating System programming.

I must be an acrobat. A blog by joshua hoover. Everyone is doing Agile and Lean. Agile and Lean are old news. Everyone uses and abuses the lexicons. Have a short daily meeting? Call it a daily Scrum. Trying to deliver something in a relatively short period of time? Call it a Sprint or iteration. Have a board with post-it notes in swim lanes? Kanban at your service. Writing some tests? Call it TDD. Attempt to improve a process? Use a CI server to run a job here or there? This entry was published on. Which...

Developing software in a more sensible way. Lean Agile Scotland 2012 – Part 1. September 25, 2012. My friend and colleague Wayne Grant. Posted an excellent blog/summary of his experiences at Lean Agile Scotland 2012. Common Objections to TDD. As I’m running TDD workshops myself, I felt that I had to attend the two TDD talks just in case I was missing out on any new thinking on the subject. First up was Seb Rose (@sebrose) with Common Objections to TDD (and their refutations. BDD: Busting the Myths. The c...

Distributed Team – Retrospectives – Sailboat | Agile Modus Operandi
https://gordonmcmahon.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/distributed-team-retrospectives-sailboat
Developing software in a more sensible way. Distributed Team – Retrospectives – Sailboat. June 12, 2013. Martin Fowler states that the first law of distributed objects. Is: don’t distribute your object. I think that the same applies to distributed teams. Co-location just makes things easier and distributing people makes it all much, much harder. However, sometimes, for reasons outwith our control, you end up with a distributed team. I like the Sailboat retro technique as it’s very good at gathering...
