After a short theoretical introduction into the Extreme Programming (XP) and Scrum, the two major flavours of agile development, we will work on an example web project using Extreme Programming. The workshop will cover the whole development cycle - from planning through setting up a continuous integration server with test framework, up to developing and shipping a web application with PHP. We will add new features incrementally in a test-driven way, covering the application with unit and acceptance tests, keeping it integrated and fully functional all the time. While working, we will exercise all main practices of XP, starting with Pair Programming, Simple Design, Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and finishing with Continuous Integration and Small Releases.

"Design by committee", "too many cooks in the kitchen" and other terms have been used as a derogative to imply the creative process breaks when it involves too many individuals. At the same time, the software world have been completely revolutionized by the open source networked collaborative process. The one field where the open source process lags behind the more conventional models involves graphic and interaction designs - two fields critical to software development that have not nourished similar collaboration models. What are the challenges of networked collaboration in the creative process? Can and how might they be solved? Or is it just that designers don't like to work together?
The presentation I'm delivering as a Keynote on Monday, Oct. 5, 2009 at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, as part of the health care social media summit we're producing with Ragan Communications.

Design is a Process, not an Artefact - Trisha Gee (MongoDB)jaxLondonConference
Presented at JAX London 2013
Agile methodologies have had us moving away from Big Up Front Design to evolutionary, emergent design. But how does that work in the real world? Using experiences gained when creating the new Java driver for MongoDB, Trisha takes us on a design journey, where the answer to every question is "It Depends", the users of the system and their use cases are unknown, and lurking at the back of every decision is the question “but will it be backwards compatible?” We’ve all been there, trying to work out how to implement requirements, but have we really thought about the process of design?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
