T4 is Visual Studio’s built-in code generator. Though fundamental for many of the frameworks built atop .NET, it is none the less incredibly under-powered. Even the simplest things like intelligently reusing templates or emitting multiple files seem beyond it at first glance. Yet developers are finding of ways to incrementally improve it. One such developer, Damien Guard, has built an extension to solve the multiple-output limitation.
Damien Guard’s Manager class takes over control of rendering the output so that it can be split into multiple files. Implemented as a template file itself, it is both easy to understand and yet quite clever. Out of the box it supports useful things like common headers and footers that are applied to all files in the set.
Damien recently published an improved version of his manager class. The most important change is its improved support for source control. It will now check to see if files have changed before writing them to disk. If a file has changed, it will be automatically checked out. There are also some internal improvements to reduce conflicts with other plugins that may be watching for changing files.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.

For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
