David Hussman at Omaha Java Users Group!
The Omaha Java User’s Group moved their regularly scheduled 3rd Tuesday meeting to Monday, Oct 20th so that David Hussman would be able to pass his wisdom to us. He’s a consultant on agile practices and offered three talks for our approval. “Pragmatic Agility” was the talk that won the general consensus. David is an engaging speaker that spoke from experience. His talk was engaging and witty. The honesty was refreshing in that he was not preaching agility, but rather ask yourself the questions of why you should do it. He explained forcing agility down people’s throats was not the way and neither was being dogmatic. His presentation style was different from what we have seen. The slides had few words and mainly pictures. The agile movement needs more David, his talk came off like a conversation instead of a sales pitch.
We are still working out the kinks on ustream…tried to record this presentation, but it looks like it didn’t record correctly… it did stream well though!
