Either way, you wrote your HTML, CSS (fairly new too) and JavaScript and hoped...

    We decided to try a brand new concept for the next Agile Q&A Panel. It is called the Agile Buffet Table and will be held on May 24th, Thursday. The topic of the webinar will evolve around the fact that you don’t need to follow all agile principles per se.
