As someone living with Parkinson's disease, one of the biggest challenges I face is the reduced ability to use a keyboard. Before the onset of the condition 8 years ago, I was an ambidextral ten-finger typer, able to switch between using a mouse with both hands with ease. One of the first signs I noticed was that the letters on the left side of the keyboard would appear a bit later, causing typos

Several months ago our team started the transition to Agile. One of the top topics of the transition is user stories. How are stories created? How do they change in the process of planning and implementation? How to split them and how do they compare to other planning tools? This slide deck is from a workshop I prepared and our team did. I addressed different aspects of user stories in Agile.

Making short iterations work is hard. First the team has to find the right amount of work and commit, only to be confronted with reality and find out that the estimates are not what they meant them to be. In the first days of the iteration (T-8) the top priority stories get tackled, and somewhere in the middle of the iteration (T-5) the team has a pretty good feel, of which stories have a good

A crucial part of driving and sustaining a change towards better adoption of Agile is the opportunity to celebrate success – small wins, frequently. Winning teams have clear expectations, understandable context and the commitment to get the work done-done. Driving point in declaring small wins after each iteration is setting the scope of the iteration close to the actual capacity of the team. If

So you have a layouts page you used in your SharePoint 2007 product and you want to use it in SharePoint 2010. The functionality did not change much, however when you open the page it looks ugly and it uses an older SharePoint 2007 master page. What can I do to fix this, so that I have one code base that covers both platforms? One option is to dynamically change the master page on the PreInit

Living in some of the most culturally diverse and tolerant places in the US and in the world has thought me a lot about cultural tolerance, however I realize that this was a long learning process and as a kid growing in the capital of Bulgaria I simply was not exposed to the issue of cultural or ethnical diversity in the same way an open modern society does.

Sometimes people ask me: Why can’t you just answer with yes or no? While yes/no answers are perfect in some occasions I find that they are the absolute killer of collaborative work. A yes/no answers do not start a discussion they close it. While many developers think that a short yes/no answer makes them look more responsible and valuable I tend to disagree. What I usually want to understand is

I recall the first time I saw the ribbon in MS office. I loved it then and I love it now. The live preview felt really nice and many frequently used features sprung out to the forefront.
