KCJava Meeting Reminder -- Wednesday September 9 at 6:30

[Scott Nameth]

Topic: Agile Programming -- Fundamental Rules of Software Productivity
Speaker: Mark Randolph

What would appear on your list of fundamental rules for software
productivity? What would top your list? How would you defend your
answers? Mark Randolph has been invited to speak on that topic at the
KCJava Users group, and has asked for our help in sharpening his wits.
Mark's list is attached. Can you improve on it?

About the speaker:
Mark has dedicated his career to finding and applying best practice
software development methods. He currently works for Echota
Technologies and is assigned at the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) as a Senior IT Specialist where he actively
advocates for the adoption of Agile and Extreme Programming methods.
On his last job, Mark was responsible for piloting Scrum (an Agile
Programming method), arranged training for 12 team leads, and
organized and ran 7 Scrum teams, not all of which were successful (a
humbling and instructive experience). Mark has also published articles
on the Scrum Alliance web site, and recently attended the Agile 2009
conference in Chicago, which he will undoubtedly drag into his talk.

Mark is also a former computer programming instructor, has a master
level knowledge Object Oriented Analysis & Design with UML (OOA&D) and
C++, is Java competent, and is a registered Professional Engineer
(PE). Mark has been a Certified ScrumMaster for 4 years

As usual the meeting will be hosted by Centriq Foss beginning at
6:30.pm. Please RSVP to javasi...@kcjava.org if you plan to attend
