For the “Software Best Practices” seminars where I’ll be speaking in Austin tomorrow, I’ve made a substantial number of updates and refinements to the material that I presented in Ft. Lauderdale a couple days ago. The material is fundamentally the same as before, but I’ve added a couple more recommended books, papers, and articles — […]

For the “Software Best Practices” seminars where I’ll be speaking in Ft. Lauderdale and Austin this week, I’ve provided several different ways of downloading the presentation materials. None of the material is copyrighted; it’s all “open source,” and you’re welcome to use it, modify it, share it with friends and colleagues, and collaborate with me […]

I’ve just uploaded a new version (v05) of my “Top Ten Software Engineering Concepts” presentation to slideshare.net; to access it, click here.

I’m giving a presentation on Web 2.0 technologies for the Atlanta SPIN organization tomorrow evening (for details and directions to the meeting location, click here), and I thought it would be a good idea to update the mind-map I’ve been refining and extending over the past year and a half; I’m up to version 35 […]

Another day, another chapter: I’ve now read through Chapter 3 of Scott Rosenberg’s Dreaming in Code, and will offer a few comments and observations. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you might want to skip back to some earlier blog entries that discuss the preface and initial chapters of the book; links […]

As promised, I’ve digested another chapter of Scott Rosenberg’s Dreaming in Code, and will do my best to make my comments much briefer than in the past.
Before I discuss the chapter itself, let me emphasize again that Scott has posted an online version of the endnotes for the book, which you can find here. It […]

All but my most loyal blog-fans (are there such people?) have probably forgotten that I received my copy of Dreaming in Code from Amazon back in mid-January, and began enthusiastically reviewing the preface and first chapter. I knew that I would soon be distracted by other assignments and deadlines, but I had hoped to finish […]

He graciously responded, within 24 hours, apologized for being overwhelmed with work, and promised to get the material […]
