CI in SD Conference.

Continuous Improvement in Software Development Conference!
Long name for something I've been longing.

I'm at a point in development where I need to start improving not just code, but the also practices as an entire team. There are so many things out there to help product development/quality, but I just don't have enough time to investigate them on my own. What better than to learn from the cream of the crop?

So, where do I learn about these things? From the source! Subscribe to their blogs and you'll get the news before it's anywhere: Ayende Rahien, Chad Myers, and Jeremy Miller.

Getting Involved Again.
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
So I've been meaning to get back on the HDNUG and AgileHouston train again for a while. A series of recent events finally made me get up and get involved again.

  • Last week, James and Ben (GO COOGS!) went to the ALT.NET conference in Seattle along with a long list of very famous people. I envy you two, hehe.

  • Yesterday, James and I had a short talk about how to get something started in his new found home, Ellensburg, Washington. He's a bit far from Seattle to get drive to the events, so he's looking for help. Today, I emailed Chris Koenig about helping James out with his connections. Within minutes, I get a response with a "handy-dandy" link and a few contacts...AWESOME.

  • This morning, my boss emails me about a free local event in Houston on May 7, 2008 on the "State of .NET" that we'll be attending.

Good fun. I'm ready, bring it.

Oh yeah, I'll be attending MMS this year in Vegas along with the SecureVantage team!
