SERVICES
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
I have over 10 years of software development experience on several different platforms (mostly Ruby and .NET).
I recognize that software is expensive,
so I'm always trying to find ways to speed up the software development process, but at the same time
remembering that high quality is essential to building software that stands the test of time.
PROJECT LEADERSHIP
I have experience leading and architecting large Agile software
projects and coordinating all aspects
of a project's lifecycle. Whether you're looking for technical expertise or someone
to lead all aspects of an Agile project, I have proven experience from multiple projects
in different environments that can help make your project a success.
AGILE COACHING
I believe that Agile processes and tools should be applied with common sense. I've spent the
last 6 years working on Agile projects as a consulant in many different environments, both in leadership roles
and as a practitioner doing the work. I can help you find out how Agile can work best in your
organization, not just apply a prescriptive process.
TEST DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
TDD Boot Camp is a hands-on, three day, comprehensive training course that will teach you all of the
skills, tools, frameworks that you will need to use test-driven development to develop real world .NET applications.
If you're not looking for something that intensive, check out the the half-day version.
Have any questions? Contact me for more information.

Great deck. I am working on a presentation for Visual Studio 2010 testing and automatic builds/running tests at every prior to build (continuous integration).
I have and read the first two books in your resources. Would like to check out Ruby/Rails as well since I just started on Rails3. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Baskin
