    Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part I: How I started to use Scrum

Looking back at the mid to late 1990s, I can’t believe how I ever got software developed at all! ;) I was first introduced to Agile methodologies ten years ago. When I was the CTO of Zagat, one of our board members gave me a copy of Kent Beck’s original Extreme Programming Explained. At the time Zagat was doing a modified version of waterfall that was more “agile”, meaning we were doing things quickly and responding to the needs of the business (this was the .COM boom you know!), however, we were not Aglie insofar as...

    Binding Telerik Reports to Google Spreadsheets API

    Introduction A while back, someone pointed me to this news article containing a Google Documents based spreadsheet with information about UK Inflation.
