Subject: Next NY City SPIN meeting - April 2nd., on
eXtreme Programming


The next meeting of the NY City SPIN will be on April
2nd. at
Citicorp's 53rd. St and Lexington Ave. building. Our
topic will be
Extreme Programming, usually referred to as XP. This
is a brand
new topic for the SPIN, and promises to be full of
interest, and a
little controversy. Our guest speaker will be Bob
Martin, one of the
leaders of the XP movement. My take on this topic is
that it will
give us an opportunity to look at the software
development lifecycle
from a completely new vantage point. I look forward to
seeing you
on April 2nd.

Abstract of the talk:

XP vs. RUP
It is often said that XP and RUP are opposites. The
truth is that there are some very strong similarities
between the two processes; an RUP house can adopt a
number of XP practices without giving up RUP. This
talk compares and contrasts XP and RUP, and discusses
how projects can be done using the best of both
worlds.
