As programmers, we’re no strangers to change. Requirements change, technologies change, customers change, and in turn we have to change to stay relevant. Indeed, our ability to continuously adapt to change is paramount to the success of our projects and careers. Some people call this being agile. But what sets agile, productive teams apart from teams reacting to daily fire drills?

Today we’re excited to announce the Agile Developer Studio, designed exclusively to help you and your teams succeed through agility. This Studio isn’t a series of lectures about what you should do, leaving you to figure out how to actually do it. Instead, you’ll learn what agility is all about, by actually doing it! And you’ll be coached by the best: Andy Hunt (of the Pragmatic Programmers) and Venkat Subramaniam, co-authors of "Practices of an Agile Developer". Drawing from their vast project experience, they’ll help you become a better, more agile, developer.

Over the course of three days, you’ll learn how to apply agile practices throughout the life cycle of your project with both programmer-level and project-management examples and labs. After this Studio, you’ll be able to:

• prevent normal project pressures from turning into disasters,
• keep project teams working in harmony, and
• consistently deliver quality software on predictable schedules.

The Agile Developer Studio will be held in Reston, VA on Sept 12-14, 2007. Register today to take advantage of the early bird discount.

Thanks for your continued support, and we hope to see you in this Studio!
