[TIP] Registration announcement for Deep Agile 2008, Boston

[Bob Clancy]

            ***** Deep Agile 2008, Boston *****

               “Not as Easy as You Thought”

A 2-Day Intensive Conversation With James Coplien and Bob Martin

   ---- Don't wait! Standard Registration rate ends Nov 4! ----

The sparks will fly when two passionate professionals - Jim Coplien and 
Bob Martin - square off to make the world safe for software development. 
In the corner of architecture, patterns and agile is Jim Coplien. 
Driving the necessity of test based design is "Uncle Bob" Martin.

Each will use their long track records, numerous case studies, and 
success stories to argue that they have the answers you need to deliver 
successful projects and products. The difference here is that we are 
presenting both sides of the story, and working with Jim and Bob to show 
how both approaches meet in the arena of professional software 
development.

Come prepared to be surprised and have your assumptions questioned! Our 
goal is to get well beyond the buzzwords and introductory agile ideas, 
and to get you thinking.

        experts handle the recurrent problems that plague
        Agile initiatives.

* Agile and Architecture: How Much is enough?
        Can good design emerge from TDD or should you use
        patterns to create an architecture up-front?

* Agile and Patterns
        As co-founder of the software patterns community,
        James Coplien has some strong opinions on where
        Agilistas are going wrong.

* TDD – Essential Discipline or Harmful Fad?
        Can Test Driven Development create bad habits, or
        poor design? You can’t find two more knowledgeable
        gurus to debate it than Bob and Jim!

        software architecture? Or should it? Find out where it
        matches or misses.

* Agile and Professionalism
        Good software architecture is at the core of too many
