Notes from Poppendieck “Value Stream Mapping”
Wow. I went to Mary Poppendieck’s CodeMash Precompiler talk on Value Stream Mapping. That was great. It’s rare that I take 5 pages of notes during one conference session. To be fair, the precompiler sessions are three hours, but still, that’s much...

Review of Poppendieck's Lean Software Development: An Agile Approach
A great book for convincing your company, or your customers, more agile A little more than a month ago, at CodeMash, I had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with Mary & Tom Poppendieck discussing software development, agile methods, the...

Yet another book review
Balena & DiMauro: Practical Guidelines and Best Practices for Visual Basic and Visual C# Developers. Yes, I have been reading quite a bit. This is a very good book for relative newcomers to .NET development. On the one hand, if you simply follow all...
