Yes.

"A step-by-step rundown on how to set up a solid Agile process for coding, testing, and deploying via the cloud." with MikeCI and Codesion

"...that people actually want". Rapid app/product development ideas from MBM.

"All of the 'heavy' agiles like Scrum have confused me: isn't agile about fundamentally less process and more flexibility? One can't serve two masters. Teams have to pick a point along the completely structured - completely flexible line. As far as I'm concerned, these flavors of agile are just wolves in sheep's clothing that allow existing waterfall autocrats to continue their reign under the guise of adopting 'agile.'" Amen to that. Use the parts that make sense, jettison the parts with large overheads and ideology. Be pragmatic.

"A web based code review system, facilitating online code reviews for projects using the Git version control system."

"Why web applications are different to installed apps, problems that none of the revision control systems solve, and how you can solve some of them yourself within your app."

"Agile project management tool that enables real time collaboration around a shared, prioritized backlog."

This.

"All deployments need to be automated. No ad-hoc, one-off deployments allowed. If you do allow them, they can quickly snowball into an unmaintainable, unreproducible mess."

"A quick [!] overview of Continuous Integration summarizing the technique and its current usage."

"The reason most often cited by technical staff for avoiding debt altogether is the challenge of communicating the existence of technical debt to business staff and the challenge of helping business staff remember the implications of the technical debt that has previously been incurred. Everyone agrees that it's a good idea to incur debt late in a release cycle, but business staff can sometimes resist accounting for the time needed to pay off the debt on the next release cycle. The main issue seems to be that, unlike financial debt, technical debt is much less visible, and so people have an easier time ignoring it."

"It’s overwhelmingly easy to write bad unit tests that add very little value to a project while inflating the cost of code changes astronomically."

"Bitten is a Python-based framework for collecting various software metrics via continuous integration. It builds on Trac to provide an integrated web-based user interface."

"It’s time to take advantage of the cloud’s free parallelism. Most existing use cases merely map existing techniques to the cloud. Elasticity is a critical mesaurement: the time it takes to start a node up, and your minimum time commitment per node. Short lived but massively parallel tasks that were once impossible thrive in a highly elastic world. Big prediction: Clouds are going to get more elastic indefinitely; they’ll trend with Moore’s law."

"A system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention."

Excellent overview of agile (small-a) process from Malarkey

"You can be doing agile without performing any of the current recommended practices and you can perform all the recommended practices and still not be agile. Lots of teams believe they are practicing agile just because they are doing standups or TDD… That’s like pretending to be a musician because you have the best instrument."

"Here’s my thesis: As a profession, we do a lot more software maintenance than we do greenfield development. And it’s at the maintenance end where TDD really pays off. I’m starting to see lapses from the TDD credo as more and more forgivable the closer you are to the beginning of a project. And conversely, entirely abhorrent while in maintenance mode."

"Extensible continuous integration engine"

More on continuous deployment.

"The high level of our process is dead simple: Continuously integrate (commit early and often). On commit automatically run all tests. If the tests pass deploy to the cluster. If the deploy succeeds, repeat." Blimey.

"A powerful build management and continuous integration server supporting both Java and .NET teams."

"A project management tool loosely based off of Scrum."

"Our programs have left the desktop and found their new home on the web. System administration issues loom large upon us, security concerns lurk auspiciously in the corners of our minds."

"For some time now, I have thought that high-level project roadmaps (Gantt charts in particular) are one of the most worthless documents that a software project team can produce."

"For better or for worse** however, many of us are on one side or the other of an outsourcing arrangement. I discovered in my work that using test driven development as a mechanism for both validation (are we building the right thing?) and verification (i

Good Continuous Integration run-through and, ooh, smart Ambient Orb hack!

"Pick something small in your organization. Internal systems are usually a good fit [...] Pitch this system as a test balloon for another way of doing things."

"If you think it's possible to identify a single date, somewhere off in the future, upon which you'll receive everything you've requested and for a fixed price, then you're setting yourself up for failure and disappointment."

"Ask them what they're doing. Then ask them why they're doing it, and keep asking until you get to a reason your customers would understand."
