November Meeting

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the extra long hiatus. Our next Agile Tampa group meeting will be Thursday, November 19th. We will be having Ken Pugh from Net Objectives speaking on Acceptance Test Driven Development. Here is a synopsis:
 
Defining, understanding, and agreeing on the scope of work to be done is often an area of discomfort for product managers, developers and quality assurance experts alike. Many of the items living happily in our defect tracking systems were born of the difficulty we have in performing said activities. Acceptance Testing roots out these defects by reexamining the process we use to define the work to be done and how it is tested.
 
This session will introduce acceptance testing; explain why it works; and outline the different roles the team members play in the process. We will contrast acceptance testing with unit testing and show examples of how the process clarifies the work to be done.
 
A fellow consultant with Net Objectives, Ken Pugh has more than one-third of a century of experience in software development—from gathering requirements for stock market analysis to testing real-time radar systems. Ken consults, trains, testifies, and mentors from London to Sydney on agile processes and technology topics ranging from object-oriented design and test-driven development to Linux/Unix. He has written several programming books, including the Jolt Award winner, Prefactoring, and Interface Oriented Design. When not computing, Ken enjoys snowboarding, windsurfing, biking, and hiking the Appalachian Trail.

The Tampa Ruby Brigade Meeting

Robert Dempsey, CEO of the (Rails) web development shop Atlantic Dominion Solutions <http://www.adsdevshop.com/about/>, organizer of Acts as Conference <http://www.actsasconference.com/> and creator of expens'd <http://www.expensd.com/> will be the guest speaker for The Tampa Ruby Brigade this month.

Robert Dempsey will provide a full introduction to agile development with scrum: what is it and how it works. If you are involved in the creation of software as a developer, project manager, an end user, or a customer, this meeting is for you. While Robert is particularly fond of Ruby and Rails, this topic will be more wide
ranging and applicable across languages and frameworks. What do you need to bring? Just yourself, and perhaps a friend or two.

 Where: USF Laptop Lounge
4202 E. Fowler Ave EDU 252
Tampa, FL 33620
(813) 974-6816

Good starting point for a site.  Needs some focus though.  Not sure if its a blog, a user group site, or a place for members to join as friends?  Also, topics wishing to be covered and schedules for future events and slide decks (ppt, pdfs) for previous events would be very convenient.  I have emailed you as well so I am looking forward to speaking with you.
