Diaspar Software & Thoughtworks is proud to present another
installment of the XP Day North America series: XP Day Manhattan
taking place on October 13, 2007.
The focus of XP Day is to bring top extreme programming practitioners
to North American XP communities to share their successes, failures
and perspectives on how to release high-value software sooner.
Our program for Manhattan includes:
1)A keynote address by Steve Freeman. Steve is a fixture in the London
software development community, a regular organizer of the original XP
Day, well known for his contributions to test-driven development
practice and co-recipient of the 2006 Gordon Pask Award.
2)A tutorial by JB Rainsberger, a recipient of the 2005 Gordon Pask
award. JB will talk about why XP works using the Theory of Constraints
model developed by Goldratt.
3)A tutorial by George Dinwiddie, a respected member of the XP
community, and author of an insightful blog about coaching XP teams:

multiple levels in XP.
4)Open Space. There’s plenty of room, the space is superbly run and
the conversation is lively. Collaborate intensively with both local
and invited advanced practitioners on issues that interest you most.
