Last day of Agile 2007

Its been a fun Agile conference this year. I met a lot of people and had plenty of interesting conversations.

I'd like to thank everyone who was at our tutorial on pair programming. You were all great and I hope you had as much fun as I did!

Taylor the Sailor found me after the session and asked the question you were all dying to know... "Do you really know what an NPC is?" Of course I do!

For all of you wanting to know why we were talking about D&D, I'd usually say you'll have to come to our next session. However, I don't think it would be as fun a metaphor without Oksana saying, "I have no idea what she is talking about, but I know it has something to do with video games." It is probably the last (and first) time I use it as an example activity that's best to do with someone else.

Today, Ken and Ilio's presented their experience report on Ript. They did a really great job. It was fun to be in the audience of another team members' session!

I'm really glad the whole team was at the conference. I'm really lucky to work with people I admire and enjoy so much!

With all this great team spirit its hard for something to compare. However, on the first night, they had a balloon guy at the ice breaker and he made me a bicycle! He didn't even call me a hyena for asking :P

Agile 2007

On Wednesday August 15th, The Gentle Art of Pair Programming can be experienced in its entirety at Agile 2007.

Ken, our VP of development and Ilio, our client proxy, will discuss the team's collaboration and experience with our product owner and CEO, Gerry Laybourne.

Agile 2006 was a great conference. With our contributions, Agile 2007 is sure to be a blast!

The Gentle Art of Pair Programming -- the Short, Short Version

Oksana and I held a birds of a feather session on Pair Programming this afternoon and after a late start, we had big turn out.

The audience was excellent and enthusiastic. Thank you for your questions and interest!

For those of you who didn't get enough of us, we'll be presenting a full tutorial at Agile 2007 in August -- more details to follow.
