Earlier in the year, I gave an internal videocast to my colleagues in IT on continuous integration. I finally got around to posting it online and the presentation is now available on Slideshare.

Agile 2008 – Technical Lessons Learned Turning the Agile Dials to Eleven!
My presentation with Paul King from Agile 2008 called “Technical Lessons Learned Turning the Agile Dials to Eleven!” is available on Slideshare.
Developer practices for traditional and agile Java development are well understood and documented. But dynamic languages – Groovy, Ruby, and others – change the ground rules. Many of the common practices, refactoring techniques, and design patterns we have been taught either no longer apply or should be applied differently and some new techniques come into play. In this talk, techniques for agile development with dynamic languages are discussed. How should we better apply refactoring techniques? What new aspects do we need to think about?
The session was recorded and is available on InfoQ.
The corresponding paper is available via the IEEE and is also available in full via the Agile Academy.
Agile 2008 – Agile Project Experiences: The Story of Three Little Pigs
My presentation with Paul King from Agile 2008 called “Agile Project Experiences: The Story of Three Little Pigs” is available on Slideshare.
Over the last few years, we have aggressively applied agile practices on a number of projects with success. These successes, however, have not been achieved without challenges and lessons learnt along the way. This experience report specifically highlights examples from three different projects of varying sizes in this period in the same organisation (three little pigs) where in all cases the pigs were well and truly committed.
Some of the key successes from the example projects will also be discussed.
The corresponding paper is available via the IEEE and is also available in full via the Agile Academy.
