Agile Methodology

Lately I have been reading about Extreme Programming and Agile Methodology of software development.

I attended a training session on VSTS (Visual Studio Team Systems) in January 2006, prior to its release. VSTS (the environment at our work place) provides two built-in process templates - MSF for Agile and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement. We used MSF for Agile for the labs in the training session; hence this reading activity.

Here is a link from Agile Alliance. It is a non-profit organization that supports individuals or organizations adopting an agile approach to software development.

I am currently reading articles within the website on Requirements.

Regular Expressions

I had started reading about Perl regular expressions a couple of years back and been through the Java regular expressions chapter too. I never really got a chance to use them in practice.

Read this quick start link on regular expressions.

The goal of the exercise was to be able to determine if a text would pass the regular expression I was looking at; will try to experiment some, with Java.
