Hi all, We're considering putting a whole bunch of our people through various Scrum training courses - a few CSEs, couple of Product Owners, and general...
... Nice! It'll be interesting to see how the randori turns out--and what the programming challenge is :-) Now I just hope I'll be in town when the action...
Strangely they didn't mention a programming language supposed to be used. Having in mind, that the announcement was made by a Reaktor Innovations person, it...
... Actually, it is mentioned. Only on the particular session's page--not on the CodingDojo page. I added a note on the CodingDojo page about the programming...
... How many of our agile finland members actually can code with Ruby? I think not too many... Not that it would be a bad language. :-) It would be a great way...
... I think it might work with traditional kata where the presenter do all the coding. In Randori (which is the dojo style we will be using in the first...
Agreed. Most people probably wouldn't feel comfortable writing Ruby (randori). Perhaps not even reading Ruby (kata)? The original Dojo in Paris decided...
... I would be thrilled to learn Ruby, and surely there are many more among the Helsinki area Agile Finland audience. If the dojo in Paris has turned out to be...
... Judging by the feedback I've gotten after my Rails presentations, audiences (CS students, php/java hackers) have had very little problems in following my...
Hi all, it seems that Microsoft and IBM are seriously going agile. At least finally MS is saying "Scrum" aloud, and Rational's guys have read (and understood)...
... Well, at least *some* people at MS and IBM understand what agile is about. The same goes for every big IT shop. Of course, Microsoft finally coming out of...
In my opinion, using not very popular language for any kind of learning session means increasing a specific kind of "digital divide": those, who are eager to...
... Yeah, too bad that Symbian C++ is not a very popular language ;-) Seriously, there's much to say about using a simple* language like Ruby for learning the...
... Well, there are tools, both free and proprietary. Actually any unit testing framework is a good starting point. Oh yeah, for a real good start you would...
... Do I hear an article coming? (wink wink) I bet it wouldn't hurt the Symbian community to read about another team doing TDD on the platform. -Lasse-...
Unfortunately there are not so many of them for poor Symbian programmers. Digia EUnit (you don't want to know the price) and SymbianOSUnit (GPL or LGPL). First...
Sorry, I afraid no article. At least not this year. Actually I am myself just starting getting hands on TDD and do it with the help of a single (and quite...
Don't worry about "obscure" languages. An unknown programming language might not be all bad. .as long as you promote the event as an advanced exercise in using...
There is at least one unit testing framework for Symbian C++, developed by grassroots inside a Symbian-centric shop. But the last thing I heard was that...
... It's interesting that when I started the discussion about the coding dojo I actually had in mind exactly the process of learning a new langauage as way to...
Hi, I've got something to bounce off of you. Erik Lundh (who's also tapping on this mailing list) just picked up a thread we left behind in 2004 about...
... And some established software gurus, such as Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt in _The Pragmatic Programmer_, indicate that it's important to learn a language...
... A nice idea, but it taking something like 40 hours away from home might decrease attendance. It's a bigger investment of quality time than the one-night...
... Definitely. We're not talking about the same thing as our one-nighters under the Agile Seminar "brand". This would be much more work and much more...
Hm- Guess the attachment got deleted. A link then: http://comix.spoox.org/dilbert/dilbert2002220051116.gif Bas ________________________________ From:...
... We could also do it so that we (the Helsinki people) have (moderate) fun on the boat, get to Stockholm have the conference there and then have more...
Great idea. I suggest that consideration be given to potential participants that don't necessarily have the opportunity to participate in a whole cruise. How...
