Ohio for a few days
After speaking in Tampa and Miami at the beginning of this week I flew to Columbus, Ohio, yesterday night to visit my good friend Brian Sam-Bodden of Integrallis. What a difference between warm and sunny Florida ;-) As you can tell by the picture, snapped this morning, winter is coming and the temperature has already dropped quite a bit. While in Miami and Tampa it was about 27ºC/80ºC here in Ohio it's only 4ºC/40ºF, which to me is not chilly but actually quite cold.
That temperature thing is particularly funny, as I, being German, should be used to low temperatures and show. Apparently the human adapts quite good to different climates. Now that I live in warmer places, such as Florida, the Dominican Republic and now Panama, my body has adapted to heat and I need to put on more warm clothes than I used to in the past. Quite funny this experience ;-)
An Agile Development Organization in Miami, Florida
On Tuesday, 20th of November 2007, the Miami Java Users Group gave me the opportunity to speak about Agile and our project management tool Savila. Unlike the day before in Tampa I was the third speaker in a row and we had to timebox our presentations a bit. So this presentation is a bit shorter than the one I delivered in Tampa. Here is the presentation as PDF for download.
The audience was of similar size, about 35 persons, and although we had to finish more or less on time we had some lively discussions about TDD and agile estimation techniques.
Many thanks to all of you in Miami.
An Agile Development Organization in Tampa, Florida
On Monday, 19th of November 2007, I had the opportunity to speak to about 35 members of the Tampa Java Users Group. As promised to the members of the Tampa JUG, I'm offering here the presentation as PDF for download.
Many thanks to all of you for the warm welcome and the interesting dialog we had during and after the presentation. I really enjoyed being with you to talk about Agile and our tool Savila.
