Speaking at SoCal Rock & Roll Code Camp
I’m doing 3 talks – maybe more – at the SoCal Rock & Roll Code Camp this year January 27 & 28th, 2008, at the Cal State Fullerton Campus.
Agile Development Basics – In this presentation I cover the Agile values and principles, as well as the a little about why we need something like Agile.
A Quick Introduction to Scrum – Here I’ll present the who, what, and how of Scrum. Scrum is one of the most common methodologies for managing an Agile effort.
Agile Coding Techniques for Legacy Apps – This talk shows various techniques for introducing unit tests and micro tests into an application that has insufficient tests.
Last year the Code Camp was a lot of fun with a lot of great presentations and get-togethers with fellow developers. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again and learning a lot of new, useless stuff.
Craig Jones:
Hi Woody,
You gave some terrific presentations at Code Camp. You are a very engaging speaker. Thanks.
In the Scrum Intro, you displayed a nifty animation showing how the Scrum task board works — with blue story cards and yellow task cards moving from left to right as the iteration progresses. How can I get hold of that animation?

Hello Craig,
Thanks for the kind words!
I am going to try to put that together as a Flash animation in the next few days and post it here somehow. I am pretty sure that I must have seen a similar example of a “time-elapsed” animation showing a taskboard as the sprint progresses – but I haven’t been able to locate it. If anyone finds that please let me know.
In the meantime, I’ll see if I can get this together.
Cheers,
