Better than logview4net
Someone Googled for ‘better than logview4net’ and ended up on my blog. It must have been an anticlimax to look for something better and end up on the developers blog.
There is a java application called Chainsaw that is part of the Apace Logging Services. I don’t know about all it’s features but it inspired me to create logview4net.
I know there are some performance issues with some usage patterns. If you think you are on of those users please write a comment and use a WORKING email address so that I can try to fix your issues.
Scrum and Continuous Integration
I’ve been rambling about Continuous Integration a couple of times before and I just noticed that I have misspelled Continuous every time so I guess I’ll just have to go through all of my old posts and correct that. I have, on the other hand, gotten a lot of Google traffic from fellow misspellers around the world.
Here’s a google search with misspelled articles, and here’s a search with the corrected ones.
If you find any weird language constructs or words in the future please tell me. A big reason for blogging at all is to keep my english alive.
Anyway, I was thinking a bit more on Scrum and it struck me that Scrum is Continuous Integration for people. I know it won’t take a genius get that idea, but it made me feel even more comfortable with Scrum. I like to enable continuous delivery of value to the customer.
A customer should be able to stop a project (almost) any time and still get some value out of it.
I’m a scrum novice
I have been forced to learn what Scrum is due to two independent assignments.
So in the spirit of learning stuff by myself I just read Agile Software Development with Scrum and I’ve got Agile Project Management with Scrum in the pipe.
It struck me that Scrum is a little like it has turned out when I, and the good developers around me, have had some saying in the organization of software development.
I’m by far an expert in the field but I get the feeling that it will be hard to convince a customer to embrace Scrum. I would gladly work in a Scrum team though.
My Scrum encounters this far is by one customer that want to use Scrum in a project to migrate a rather large application from VB6 to .NET, and one customer where I helped them inspect and evaluate a software supplier (and their software) that uses Scrum for their application development.
Done in the right way I really think it enables both transparency and creative thinking.
