Agile Development: What, Who, How, and Whether. Agile Development guru Martin Fowler talks about how to pick methodologies, execute them, and fix what's broken. (Interview by Elden Nelson) [Pythoz.com] 3:48:59 PM     Happy 1st of May. Or, if your are living in a socialist oriented country - "Happy May-Day". Growing up in East-Germany we used to have to participate in May-Day parades. People were given time off from work and schools. Everybody assembled in the central town square and you were either a participating marcher or a spectator. It was all very nicely organized to evoke a sense of patriotism. 10:22:02 AM     Dave has an opinion: Permit me to rant about Macromedia. They merged with Allaire. Both companies have BigCo's on the brain. Here's an interview with Jeremy Allaire. And a quote. "What we've found though is that roughly 75% of web applications are built by scripting level developers." Personally, I think a lot of them use non-Microsoft and non-IBM tools and environments. I'd like to see them pitch their capabilities to all developers. Later he says that they've been working privately with Microsoft on interop. This is what I mean by having BigCo's on the brain. When we've tried to work with either Macromedia or Allaire they tell us about their plans to work with the Bigs. They say it nicely, but it's so frustrating. This bugs me bigtime.   [Scripting News] 7:15:26 AM
