David Good in the Wandering Book
It has been a while since David Good wrote his entry in The Wandering Book and I am the sole culprit of not sharing my ideas here on it. I have been caught up with many different things lately that prevented me from writing my thoughts about his entry down. David’s entry starts by giving [...]
Kerry Buckley in the Wandering Book
In the most recent entry of The Wandering Book, Kerry Buckley gives us a glimpse of his career and how he realised that he cared about code and the way he codes. What I personally like about his story is the message Kerry sends (indirectly) to the developers out there who are not working in [...]

Doug Bradbury in the Wandering Book
Doug Bradbury has added this entry to The Wandering Book recently: I love the point he makes about software development being physical; The learning must get into your bones and muscles for it to be of use to you One thing that most forget is, as Doug reiterates in his entry, that you need to [...]

In the upcoming Qcon Conference in London David Harvey is giving a talk on Software Craftsmanship with the title, you guessed right, Danger: Software Craftsmen at Work.

Micah Martin in the Wandering Book
This morning I woke up with a mail from Micah telling me that he had uploaded the pages he wrote in The Wandering Book. I checked the site and I was totally amazed by what I saw. As you can see yourself he used a wonderful font for writing his entry, but above all he [...]
