Agile Beer Night Nov/Dec is Dec 3

*TODAY!*

This month and next month are going to be pretty busy for folks with the holiday season already upon us. We are going to move the November ABN to the Dec. 3 this year, and combine the November and December beer nights to one night.

This month's (optional) theme is Agile Adoption. Bring your experiences (good or bad) with adoption of agile in your course of agile practice. What worked? What didn't? What were the reasons things worked or didn't? This is a large area of debate, so let's benefit from each others' experiences.

Please join us at Daman's Pub for Agile Beer Night! That's Pour, Drink, Refactor (for those of you unfamiliar with the practice...) from 5 to 7pm. Show up any time, but happy hour goes only until 5:30PM.

Free Seminar: Synergies Between Patterns and TDD

For all those of you out there using TDD and design patterns (and you should be) ... here is a free seminar this Thursday at Net Objectives Bellevue Office, 18:00-20:30 PDT

Seminar: Synergies Between Patterns and TDD

Patterns in software are valuable for a number of reasons, but chief among them is that they help keep code quality high, and allow systems to change without excessive risk and cost. Test-Driven Development is also valuable in many ways, including these same issues. That leads one to ask: if TDD and patterns deliver similar value, is there even more value to be found in using them together? Can tests lead us to patterns? Can patterns lead us to better tests? This seminar will examine these issues and show how learning both patterns and TDD enhances the value of both disciplines.
