AgileNorth 2007 roundup
As I mentioned in my last post I did'nt have an internet connection for most of the day so did'nt get a chance to write up yesterdays AgileNorth 2007 conference where I was speaking on MbUnit. I did manage to write up my thoughts on my way home and here they are.
Today was a long day, I did'nt get to bed until 1am, was up at 6am and I write this on the train home and its pushing 8pm. I do find conferences really take it out of you and speaking is even more draining, worrying about your session and then winding down after wards. I really enjoyed today though, my session was very well attended (around 30 in a room that holds 31/32) and I was up against Luke Barrett :) I had some great questions and I have taken a lot of value in the discussions I had afterwards with folks. With this mornings release of V3 I coded some V3 demos after my session and managed a 'scottgu' in taking a group of folks through it in the bar after the conference wrapped up. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and had some great discussions with Nancy Van Schooenderwoert and Chris Matts, both are key agile folks and there discussions were very thought provoking. Luke was also a lot of fun to talk to and we have long chat about the tools ThoughtWorks are working on. I look foward to do more with the AgileNorth community in the coming months.
