In this code case we have Elegant Coders Chris Brandsma and Richard Cirerol (listen as Chris completely stumbles over Rich’s last name), and we are joined by Cory Isakson.  For those of you outside of Bosie, Cory is a local usergroup leader, Code Camp presenter, and .net junky.  We keep trying to get Cory to blog, but so far he is resisting our calls.

Tommy Norman is one of those folks, as he and I have had many conversations on Twitter. Tommy is a System Architect at Compuware in Nashville, TN where focuses on Application Lifecycle Management. He is also heavily into Scrum, Team System, and the Nashville .NET User Group. When not working he enjoys being at home with his family of 5, playing guitar and baby dolls, and making music.

In this episode, Tommy visited with me about effectively applying Team System to some agile software development practices. This ranges from Continuous Integration to the tool aisle at your neighborhood Sears store, but I’ll leave that for you to discover.

The session, “Agile for Families, Iterating with Children”, was surprisingly popular. In addition to the slides and the audio, I am including a link to the IEEE paper that went along with this session. That’s right! There is an IEEE paper about Agile at home. Awesome :)

The slides from the talk are available below. The slide deck I am posting here is a bit larger than the one used in the talk. These slides include some interviews with the Starr kids that were left out of the slides at the conference for time reasons.

This episode is less rocket surgery, and more brain science. I hope you enjoy the show.

This week’s Jeremy project is Story Teller.

Jeremy’s other contributions to the community include StructureMap and an obtuse fascination with separation patterns for user interfaces.

Story Teller is an alternative for Fitnesse, implemented in .NET and chases the holy grail of executable requirements. If you are interested in how to achieve the promise of shared and executable requirements, this just might be your tool.

This glimpse of Microsoft’s heavy involvement in the open source community may surprise you.

Sam (Senior Director of Platform Strategy) explains that the open source community within Microsoft is thriving and goes far beyond CodePlex or EntLib source code. Who knew developers in Redmond wrote Java code? Or that Windows runs PHP like a champ? Or that Microsoft has contributed code to Linux?

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.

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.
