In this episode we interview Mary and Tom Poppendieck, authors of that great trilogy of books on Lean Software Development. Because of the lenght of the interview we decided to publish it in two parts, with the second half expected to be published in a week or so. In this first part we talk with Tom and Mary about Lean principles and how they apply to software development. We speak about Toyota, about innovation and startups, and Tom and Mary explain what is meant with set-based design.
This interview was recorded in an Amsterdam hotel lobby on the 26th of September 2010. Interview by @freekl and @mamersfo.
In this episode we talk with David on his shift from the Theory of Constraints to Kanban and the benefits of visualizing the workflow and limiting Work-in-Progress. We discuss several aspects from his latest book and talk about the people and books that inspired him to write this book. David also shares his knowledge and experiences on Feature Driven Development.
'Maintenance typically consumes about 40 to 80 percent (60 percent average) of software costs. Therefore, it is probably the most important life cycle phase.' - a quote from an article called Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering by Robert Glass.
Feature Driven Development came out as an evolution from the book Object Oriented Analysis from Peter Coad and the project management method of Jeff De Luca. It was first described in the book Java Modeling In Color.
The people David mentions are: Donald Reinertsen, Jerry Weinberg, Kent Beck, Jon Kern, Joshua Kerievsky, Jim Shore, Steve Freeman, Elizabeth Keogh, Tim McCanna, Russell Healy and Daniel Vacanti.
In this podcast we talk about the Microsoft Surface table. We do so with Dennis Vroegop and Eric Havir. We speak about the Microsoft Surface machine and how this effects people learning, playing and working. We learn about cool projects done with the Surface, why Microsoft created this device and how you can develop software for it. Dennis also tells about how multi-touch is a new paradigm and what the do's and don'ts are for software developers.
Dennis Vroegop is developer at HeadCandy Surface, a company that focusses on multitouch software development. He is also a Microsoft C# MVP and chairman of the dutch .NET usergroup dotNed. You can follow him on twitter or read his blog.
Eric Havir is the Senior Manager at the Microsoft Surface department of Microsoft in Redmond. You can follow him on twitter.

In deze editie van de podcast een interview met Rini van Solingen. We spreken met Rini over verschillende methoden voor het verbeteren van je software ontwikkel proces, zoals CMMI, Lean en Six Sigma. Rini verteld over de uitverkiezing van zijn artikel over het meten van ROI van methoden voor het verbeteren van software processen in de top artikelen van 25 jaar IEEE magazine. Tevens gaan we in op zijn nieuwe boek 'De kracht van Scrum', en spreken spreken we over zijn werkzaamheden bij de TU Delft, waar hij onder andere onderzoek doet naar globaal gedistribueerde software ontwikkeling.
Bijeenkomsten van Devnology zijn erop gericht enthousiaste ontwikkelaars bijeen te brengen om kennis en ervaring uit te wisselen, te discussiëren en te netwerken - geek to geek.
Over ons
Vanuit Devnology willen wij vooral kijken naar concepten binnen software ontwikkeling. Als zich nieuwe ontwikkelingen voordoen zullen we vooral kijken naar het concept erachter en deze in een breed kader van eerdere technieken en/of bestaande platformen plaatsen. Lees meer...
