Hey KC PMers - I attended the monthly Agile KC meeting last night <http://www.agilekc.org/> and thought I'd share a few things with you about it.
First, the meeting was an introduction to scrum, which I found pretty interesting. I've been adopting many agile practices in my work, but have never worked for a team that was all-out scrum. It was great to hear how such a team would work. Martin Olson, of Silicon Prairie Solutions gave the presentation and it was interesting to hear him speak. Second, it was good to see such a turnout at a local technical users group. There were about 12 people there. We haven't seen those kinds of numbers at our Perl Mongers meetings in years. I'd love it if we could build up our interest and attendance a bit again. We've hit a low in a couple meetings with just me and Jonathan, which isn't that exciting or informative. Perhaps if we worked to lay out a more formal agenda with discussion or presentation topics like Garrett used to, we could revive some interest. I'll volunteer myself to pick a topic this month. You're encouraged to be next month. Our next scheduled meeting is Wednesday, March 11th. I'll talk for a few minutes about Devel::REPL and Carp::REPL. These two modules were the topic of a presentation at Frozen Perl and they came up on this list this month. I'll talk briefly about: * what the two modules are and how you can use them * How you can use Carp::REPL to make development easier * What's different (better) about these than the perl debugger * My favorite feature of Devel::REPL which will appeal to any IRC junkies out there. The second topic will be figuring out an agenda for the April meeting. You're encouraged to request topics or offer to talk about something for a few minutes. See you at 7pm on the 11th at Barley's in Shawnee! -Andy _______________________________________________ kc mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc
