Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008 - FEEDBACK
If you attended my "Easing Into Agile" or "Building Better Tests in Java" sessions at the Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008, I’d love to hear any feedback, compliments, constructive criticism, and any questions that you might have thought of. The code camp eval for the Agile session is here: http://tr.im/yqi and the eval for the Builders session is here: http://tr.im/yqm. I also encourage you to leave a comment here if that’s more convenient.
I attended both of your sessions and I found them really good. It’s always motivating to hear real world examples of how people employed a particular technique, framework, api, whatever (in this case, agile development), what worked, what didn’t, inspect and adapt!
A question, do you have your presentations available somewhere?
Thanks,
Andre

I’m cleaning up a bit of the “Easing Into Agile” slides and should have it up tomorrow…some of the pictures were causing problems when I was converting it to PDF. The “Builders” talk is gonna take a bit longer, alas, but should be up this week.

Hi Ted,
I went to your “Easing into Agile” session, and was really glad I did. I’ve never paid close attention to Agile/XP before, but it actually sounds fairly close in some ways to the development process I’ve created for my own team. I’m excited to come back and try to implement some new ideas.
Perhaps you can do a presentation on pair programming next time? I’d be interested on hearing some first hand experiences.
In the meantime, I’m going to read up on as much as I can…
Cheers,
– tim

Hey Ted,
I think a good measure of a talk is how long you think about it afterward. Well, it’s been over 3 months and it is still in the back of my head. I have finally got around to trying to improve our test data, but I can’t seem to find your slides… Did you post them anywhere? If not, can you? I think they would be really useful, even if they are in a very rough & ready, or even incomplete state. I am sure we can still get some benefit from them…
Thanks, and I hope all is well.
Shaun
