Thought this might be of interest to the group? Internationally recognized software architect and author Roger Sessions ( http://objectwatch.com/about_us.htm )...
I plan to attend. SOA is a good thing. And his approach has an appeal, and is certainly an improvement over an ad-hoc and unmanaged approach. But my...
Everyone, I think a few of us from the XPSTL group, used to attend the Wireless SIG from time to time before it went on hiatus last year. It's back. Here is a...
Sorry, I've forgotten who volunteered in November. I'm also looking for a speaker this month. I'm also looking for someone to take over looking for speakers...
I volunteered to do "Move embellishment to Decorator". I think I was going to do it in Feb. and Ed was going to do his in Jan. I'd be willing to help find...
... Harassing people is pretty much it :) I've already talked with Ed, and he doesn't sound like it is ready to poresent the Inline Singleton refactoring at...
Maybe. I just had shoulder surgery, so it is a little hard for me to do much right now. The next meeting is in less than two weeks, correct? I think it is...
... If this is still up in the air for Jan, I can do "Replace Conditional with Command Pattern" (191), if there is any interest. I just haven't done any Inline...
... That would be great - we need a speaker, and I also happen to really like that topic. I often see code with the same conditional repeated many times, ripe...
I'd be interested in this as well, as I often feel there's a slight code smell in the commands and command dispatchers I tend to replace conditional logic...
... Go whatever length it takes to cover the topic; I propose that following your presentation, the group will discuss the refactoring, other users for the...
The January meeting of the St. Louis Extreme Programming Users' Group will be held on: Monday, January 16, 2006 7-9PM at our usual location on Jungermann ...
... That's fine. I understood the agenda from December was we would spend a few minutes in discussion of a particular refactoring (sort of a chapter report by...
... I think we'll have no trouble filling the meeting with that one and the related discussion that comes up. I have a great example in mind that will build...
The 16th. Wish it was on the 23rd though, as I won't be able to be down on the 16th. Ah well, at least I can check out the Ruby User Group on the 24th! ;) ...
I plan on attending the meeting. I will be starting a new job in a few weeks as VP of Engineering for Purkinje. One of the things I plan to do is introduce...

Brian and Kyle, I know that we have historically had problems with getting people to RSVP. We may want to look into using one of the following to make rsvp'ing...
I've been listening to podcasts recently, and I picked up and listened to this one last month. Most entertaining. Great "sound bites." I'm sure that many...
... I suspect that the occasional shortage of RSVPs isn't the difficulty of composing an email message (which likely less overhead than signing up for an...
Just to clarify...the person that RSVPs does not need to signup for an account. Additionally, most of these services make it easy to add the event to your...
Hi, Recently I've been doing a bit of refactoring on an older online credit application processing system I wrote last year, and have this class that smells a...
HI, Sorry, just realized I may have given the wrong impression when I said "I have all this logic in creation methods" (which should set of alarm bells). Each...
