ARCast - Zero Defect Software

Another ARCast with Ron Jacobs, this time discussing zero defect software development.

Have we reached the point of giving up on the discipline of finely crafted software? Have we come to expect that every program will crash no matter what we do? I certainly hope not. We can and should do better according to my guest today Dr. Neil Roodyn. We have to have a zero-defect mindset so repeat after me... I will write zero defect software... I will write zero defect software...

Recorded at TechEd Australia, 2006

ARCast - Just Enough Architecture

A couple of months ago on one of my trips to Redmond I met up with Ron Jacobs and recorded this ARCast.
As is typical with most things from Redmond it has taken time to ship but at last you can listen in to our conversation.

How much architecture is enough? I have been on both ends of this. I have seen projects where the architecture was endless filling 3 ring binders with documents that would probably never be read by anybody and I have also been on projects where each developer acted as their own architect and the result was a hodge-podge of functionality cobbled together in a way that was totally irrational. On this episode of ARCast – Dr. Neil Roodyn author of eXtreme .NET shares his perspective on getting the balance just right.
