- The real lessons of Lego (for software)
We start with the standard Lego brick: Of course there are multiple colours: And a few variations: Which now allows us to snap together a useful wall: Walls are good but to build anything more interesting we need some more pieces, maybe some flat pieces: Or some thinner pieces, or some bigger pieces: It might also help to have some angled pieces, you know for roofs and things, and remember the slant can go either way, up or down: I think we’re heading for a house so we will need some doors and windows: Personally I like wheels, I like things to move, and so do my kids. Heard that?
Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, June 3, 2013 - Llewellyn Falco (Approval Tests): What I've learned about open source by pairing with Simon Cropp
Of course, ApprovalTest depends on ApprovalUtilities, but you can now use the Utilities on it''s own, as originally intended. 'Over the last 2 weeks I have be fortunate enough to pair with Simon Cropp for about 8 hours on my open source project ApprovalTests. Simon has taught me a lot about running a better open source project, this blog is an attempt to share some of that for those not fortunate enough to be able to pair with Simon themselves. Think about your ''brand'' Often I am writing ApprovalTests because I use ApprovalTests myself. There isn''t. dll binary *.exe exe binary *.png
DevelopMentor Courses - Saturday, May 25, 2013 - Unit testing code depending on the ASP.NET WebApi HttpClient
Of course we still need tests for updating existing resources as well as deleting them but with these examples those should be easy enough :-). 'In a previous post I showed how to unit test an ASP.NET WebAPI Controller. But with a REST service there is both a client and a service component. Assuming for a moment the client part is also written in C# we should test that as well. In this case the client application contains the following class to load books from the REST WebAPI controller: 1: public class BooksClient. 7: _httpClient = httpClient; 8: BaseUrl = new Uri( "[link] ); 9: }.

The Problem Solver - Monday, May 20, 2013 - Dialogue Sheets - update & new planning sheet
When I do training course I always give teams one or two retrospective dialogue sheets for them to use for their first retrospectives. 'Last month InfoQ carried an update on the use of retrospective dialogue sheets. The use of these sheets continues to grow and I continue to receive good feedback.

And for those of you who’ve not tried a dialogue sheet retrospective, whats stopping you? The Dialogue Sheet PDFs are free to download.
Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - Reblogged: What should I learn to get started in.NET and web development?
Here’s my advice along with a bunch of courses you can use to accomplish this efficiently and affordably. Here are the related LearningLine courses from DevelopMentor which will walk you through this path. Because you can preview the first lesson of each course, you have about 7 hours free and the rest are all included in an affordable $29 subscription. If a lesson (task) happens to be shared across courses, you’ll see it already marked as completed for you and you can just skip to the next. Hope you all find it useful here as well]. How do I do that?”

- Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile.
The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. have been tasked to produce burndowns to keep track of how the Dev cells are doing.” Perhaps both.
Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 - Requirements whose job are they anyway?
base this statement partly on the fact that when I deliver my Agile for Business Analysts course (at Skills Matter later this week and another version then later this month at Developer Focus ) I find people on the course who I would regard as Product Managers but they - and their employees often have never heard of the Product Manager role. 'Later this week I’m giving a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” think there are a number of problems on this side of the business.
