CMMI and Scrum

UnderpaidLoveMonki @ 9:30 pm Monday, June 18th, 2007

I posted in the past about scrum, but not CMMI. I ran across Jeff Sutherland’s article on whether CMMI is worth doing. And yet he mentions how CMMI and Scrum together can be benefical. I highly recommend it to those who are interested in software development, especially those work in large software shops.

On a side note, here’s a list of companies using Scrum.

Team Solving

UnderpaidLoveMonki @ 9:48 pm Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

When working in a software team, solving problems is one of the team’s job. Here’s an article about the concept of team solving — great read. :)

Git — distributed source control system

UnderpaidLoveMonki @ 8:56 pm Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

Slashdot posted an article on Linus Torvalds’ open-source distributed source control system.

So, how’s git compared to svn, cvs, and others? Here’s a 70-minute video straight from the horse’s mouth. Be forewarned, there will be very strong opinions in this presentation. :)

OpenXDAS

OpenXDAS…an open-source, distributed audit service.

So? What’s that? If you do software development, then…

If a software based process is critical to the life of your company, then so is the security and access control surrounding resources managed by that software based process. Auditing is the way you track who did what to what and when it happened.

Here’s an article about OpenXDAS. If I had more time, I would dabble into it. :)

Tuning Subversion

UnderpaidLoveMonki @ 9:57 pm Thursday, May 24th, 2007

The article published in IBM developerworks is very informative. I highly recommend anyone who maintains Subversion to read this article. Good schtuffz.

Open Source in California’s Central Valley

UnderpaidLoveMonki @ 1:29 pm Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Today’s edition of the Fresno Bee published an article on open source development and its growing movement in Central Valley. I never thought there was actually open source activity going on (except for where I work) until I read this article . I hope more open source company start-ups will arise in the near future in the Central Valley. Good time!

Software as a Code Garden Analogy

Scott Rippee @ 7:53 pm Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

In this post Kevin Barnes make the analogy of software being like a “Code Garden”. Best analogy or not for describing the software process I enjoyed reading Kevin’s justifications.
