Software factories ...
I'm currently in Redmond, ready to attend the Strategic Architect Forum.
Yesterday, we had a chat with Jack Greenfield, co-author of the "Software Factories" book. I must admit that the maturity and the understanding those guys have about sofware production and design is just amazing. They have used their many years experience to evaluate the strenghts and weaknesses of today's approach to modeling and they have re-created it. I strongly recommend the reading of their book. To have a preview of the content, go read this article.
Next to that, I'd like to address my special thanks to Pat Helland who took us for a ride on his boat around Seatle/WA. This has been a great experience, full of emotions. Pat tought us the meaning of what it is to have a Family. It was full of lessons for all of us. Thank you Pat!
This week promises to be full of learnings ... I'll keep you posted!
