I really enjoyed this Panel @ QCon london, I ve been waiting for this video for almost half a year now! Also another video i am expecting soon is the "The Yawning Crevasse of Doom" keynote with Fowler and North.
To watch them offline, is there a way to download the videos and presentations?
Yeah, would be really nice. I always get problems watching videos on InfoQ, for some reason - the video "gets stuck" after 10 to 15 minutes of playing, and the only fix is to stop it, start from the beginning and drag the playback icon to the place it got stuck.
Well, today this fix just doesn't work. Perhaps because I'm using Safari on a Mac? Anyway, this is too frustrating, so I give up... which is a shame, because the panel discussion seems really interesting, and I've enjoyed the 25 minutes I succeeded watching.
Am missing that as well. Would like to share it with my team on a big screen.
Sorry guys, we are working on a new system that will make some of these problems go away, but it may not be up for another month or two. In the meantime there is now way to download these or go full screen. MP3 versions should be added later on as well.
Yikes, this one ends in mid sentence? Bummer.
Sorry I meant that there is "no" way to download these or go full screen.
I have been creating custom software for 25 years and I now feel less
lonely on Earth.
Since I started to write software, I used to postpone decisions until time was up
to address them, I used to design evolution capabilities in my design, I used to
understand the business model and simulate processes to insure my software could bend
to potentially new uses not in the immediate scope of the project at hand,...
And I never has to use a book about design patterns to find the appropriate one...
I never understood "architects" these days to spit out
tons of papers describing the system down to the tiniest bolt before spitting out the
first line of code. We have much more powerful tools now to refactor software than
just a text editor, a compiler and a linker...
To me it looks like bullshit to postpone the implementation as much as possible.
It's code that makes a system run business processes, not the paper around it.
I saw many "so called architects" adopt a rigid design from the start to end up failing at user acceptance
tests, busting budgets, missing time to market deadlines, or ending up with a solution that is not flexible enough
to adapt to new business needs. This happens too often to be anything else than
a bad approach to creating software systems.
These "so called architects" leave projects just before failure
and propagate their bad practices elsewhere.
It's about time that the industry rethinks it's approach to creating softwares.
It looks to me that we went through a creativity drought for several years
were software projects were assimilated to mechanicals processes that were to yield a
working implementation. Experience in delivering projects from 0 to production is
not recognized since the belief in these mechanical methods to deliver software is
deeply anchored in the industry.
Creativity and experience are essentials in a project. Since the parameters are never the same (time to market, budget, business domain, ...) there is no single recipe that can work for
every project. Nonetheless that mirage of a bureaucratic process has been sought
by the industry for years and I think it relegated creativity and experience to limbos.
Hopefully, the wind will change sides...
Oh man! Just when he was about to talk about something i'm very interested in learning about - database schemas!! What's the story?? Can we get the rest of the presentation?
The Flash presentation gets stuck at "Initializing".
For me it gets to a little after 46 minutes, then jumps to 0:00 (black screen with play button).
After reloading the page it gets to 58:21 - the full length of the video, but not quite the end of the session.
How is an insurance policy waste? I think semantics are getting people confused, or waste is not really waste, or people are choosing their words poorly.

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.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
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.
