We covered a lot of ground, but the topic of how a high functioning, distributed Agile team gets its business done just never gets old, now does it?

Not only are these guys expert enterprise architects, but they’re just plain funny, too.

Join Elegant Coders Jarod Ferguson and David Starr for this great conversation on Event Driven Architecture with Doktor Dru and Phat Boy G.

Dru Sellers is the Solution Architect for Federal Home Loan Bank out of Topeka, KS. He has been programming professionally since 2001 and spends most of his time working on various open source projects like this one, and junk punching people who ‘touch’ his database.

Chris Patterson

Chris lives in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma with his wife and two daughters. He currently works with a large health care company in Tulsa. His responsibilities include software architecture, design, and development for internet products.

He’s been writing software professionally since 1987, but wrote his first computer game on the Apple ][ in 1980.

And, you know how these same people seem to be the key masters for some esoteric idea or technology you feel guilty for not knowing?

Meet Matt Podwysocki. Matt is the functional programming key master. Matt joined Elegant Coders David Starr and Jarod Ferguson to explain the recent uptake in discussion around functional programming.

What are function languages? Why do I care? How can I use them effectively? If you wonder any of those things, this show is for you.

We have worked out a nice arrangement with the organizers of the Agile 2009 conference to speak often with conference organizers and Agile luminaries.

This will augment (not replace) our standard shows as the year goes on and hopefully we’ll all learn some new things by stepping outside the box a bit.

So, who will we be speaking to?

The conference is organized by stages (tracks) where each stage has a producer. The stage producers are people with deep roots in the subject of their stage and a fluent in their subject. We can talk to stage producers and potentially to people presenting in the stages.

What topics do you find interesting? Please help us bring shows to you that you’ll find compelling.

The list of stages is as follows:

And follow me on Twitter if you would like to submit questions to guests. I always tweet before an interview and solicit questions from the cloud.

He visited with us recently on the upcoming release of Visual Studio 2010 and the the architecture tools it introduces.

Although UML is part of the story, this isn’t your grandmother’s modeling story. Peter’s Agile approach to architecture is clear in the tooling and the scenarios he describes for using it.

Whether you think a model is best suited on a whiteboard, a table napkin, or a formal UML diagram, you’ll find this discussion fascinating.

And modeling isn’t the whole story. There’s more on tap and Peter takes us through the whole story.
