Why Software Development is Easy
|
On Monday, June 27th, Agile Denver welcomes Ron Jeffries, experienced XP author, trainer, coach, and practitioner. Ron is author of Extreme Programming Adventures in C#, the senior author of Extreme Programming Installed, and was the on-site XP coach for the original Extreme Programming project. Ron has been involved with Extreme Programming since 1996, presenting numerous talks and publishing papers on the topic. He is the proprietor of www.XProgramming.com, a well-known source of XP information. Ron is an independent consultant with Object Mentor, and was one of the creators, and a featured instructor in Object Mentor's popular XP Immersion course. Ron has advanced degrees in mathematics and computer science, and has been a systems developer for more years than most of you have been alive. His teams have built operating systems, compilers, relational database systems, and a large range of applications. Ron's software products have produced revenue of over half a billion dollars, and he wonders why he didn't get any of it. PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE!!!
