Steve talks to me about his research and finds some very interesting agile analogies in war fighting, traditional project success and cultures of success. Steve is a great speaker and I personally like this podcast quit a bit and I'm sure you will enjoy it as well.-bob

Barg and David are friends from DC and I wish I had gone to their workshop since I have an interest in movie making. They have both presented papers on Agile in the Government space and this is a nice departure from that important but somewhat dry topic.Hopefully I will soon get all of the Agile 2006 podcasts out of the way so that I can focus on Agile 2007.-bob

I spoke with Dave Thomas at the RailsEdge in Reston Virginia. We talk about his new book Agile Web Development With Rails and the Erlang book that is in the pipeline for the Pragmatic Bookshelf. The most striking feature of this podcast is the range of topics that we discuss. The second half of the discussion explores music, photography, monoculture and education. I was tired when I recorded this and you can hear it. Fortunately Dave was engaging enough to make this a decent podcast.Enjoy-bob payne

Mike and I talk about the Rails Edge and some of the other conferences that he is involved with. Not only does he run a great conference he participated in several of the talks and is a Rails Developer himself. This was my first Ruby/Rails specific event and it will not be the last.This was the last of a series of recordings that I made at Rails Edge. I will be releasing the others over time.You can get more information at http://pragmaticstudio.com/therailsedge/See you at RailsConf...-bob

I finally got a chance to talk with Ron Jeffries and Chet Hendrickson at the Simple Design and Testing conference last year. I have known Ron for a while now but this conference was the first time that I got to talk with Chet. They both enjoyed the conference and I hope to see them at the next SDT conference if we ever get around to organizing one.-bob payne

I got a chance to speak with Alistair Cockburn at Agile 2006. He talks about his evolution as a Methodologist from a hardware guy, the Crystal family of methodologies, his writing and much more.I hope you enjoy.-bob payne

Here is the kickoff of the OpenSpace for SDT 2006. This conference was organized by Naresh Jain of Thoughtworks and held at the West Chester University of Pennsylvania.http://sdtconf.com/

I had the chance to drop in on the NFJS Fall tour in Reston VA. This panel discussion covers a wide variety of topics. Mostly related to Java and Ruby but with a little simplicity and Agile thrown into the mix.It was a fun discussion and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.-bob

Jeff gave a presentation on the Psycology of Build Times at Agile 2006. He is always a cheerful voice in the Agile Community and we chat about a variety of subjects including the presentations that he and I presented at SD Best Practices 2006.-bob payne

I spoke with Bob at the end of the last day of the conference. At this point we were both tired. Bob can always liven up a room and he was able to get one last burst of Podcast Energy from me. We discuss a number of topics but the podcast is short and sweet.Enjoy-bob payne
