Hi All, I am co-ordinating a local technology group canned "Agile Peterborough" (http://www.agilepeterborough.co.uk )
On March 20th we are hosting our first free set of evening talks at the Brewery Tap in Peterborough. The details are all available on http://www.agilepeterborough.co.uk/events/103294582/ If you are interested please can you RSVP using the URL above! I have copied the description below Cheers Alex "A Journey into Agile - Uncovering Better Ways" Speaker: Daniel Bass Role: Development Manager Company: comparethemarket.com Daniel has over 12 years' experience delivering software to a wide range of businesses. In the last 3 years he has played an instrumental part in comparethemarket.com's journey into becoming an Agile IT department and its engagement with XP development techniques. Dan's talk will focus around how comparethemarket.com engaged with a program of change to align its development with the principles of agile software development practices. The presentation will cover some of the practices that have worked and some that haven't along with how it's going 2 years on. There will be a chance to answer questions at the end of the session. "Lean & Lego - Building the Millennium Falcon" Speaker: James Lewis Role: Principal Consultant Company: Thoughtworks James Lewis is a Principle Consultant for ThoughtWorks based in the UK and a member of the ThoughtWorks Technical Advisory Board. Most recently he has been helping to introduce Agile at various blue chip companies: Investment Banks, Publishers and media organisations. Sometimes I even write software. James studied Astrophysics in the 90's but got sick of programming in Fortran. Fourteen years of DBA, Java development, software design and software architecture later, he believes that writing software is the easy part of the problem. Most of the time it's about getting people thinking right. Most recently, James has been spending his time helping ThoughtWorks' clients develop enterprise software as a coding architect and is particularly interested in the design of distributed systems and the web as middleware.
