Remember when you worked on those beautifully-crafted system specifications, free of the terrors of implementation details? Or when you coded up the fine Victorian Novel you'd been given without having to test any of it?
Ahh, simpler times. Well, now you can relive those halcyon days, when software was specified, designed, coded, shipped and tested strictly in that order, at the Waterfall 2006 conference, supposedly in Niagara Falls on April 1st: http://www.waterfall2006.com/ Presentations that fill much-needed gaps in the schedule include: Cube farm designs that cut out conversation http://www.waterfall2006.com/cockburn.html Bringing Process Deviants Into Compliance http://www.waterfall2006.com/shimp.html Extreme Programming Uninstalled http://www.waterfall2006.com/jeffries.html I'm sure other exciting topics will also be discussed, and there will probably be plenty of famous shoulders to cry on during the mandatory periods of standing in the hall. Unfortunately, I am not affiliated with this alleged event, but I am willing to let a suitable corporate patsy fund me to travel to Niagara Falls and mock anyone else who turns up. I'm told the Canadian side is particularly picturesque, so via there would be nice, thanks. -- Frank Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List (discuss@ppig.org) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
