Podcast appearances and mentions of peter coad

There are two distinct parts to this episode: first, more revelations about an early aviation legend. Then, we visit Ada (Sis) Mcrae, born 1889, who recalls the hardships and joys of life in a small Outback town.SIR NORMAN BREALEY really made the dust fly with his biplane-era airline in Western Australia, but the maverick way he ran his business also raised the ire of our early aviation authorities.In this final instalment on Sir Norman, we hear of more of his brazen business antics.SIS McRAE in Hawker, South Australia, was the big-bodied, big-hearted grandmother of Australian Country Music legends Peter Coad and the Coad Sisters.In this 1967 interview with Sis, she shared with me some of her swag-full of yarns about small-town life over a century ago.  And through the Coads' song, 'Sing Me That Old Song, Granny', we hear the ancient violin Sis would play all night at country dances in the Flinders Ranges.

Peter Coad describes himself as a "Painter of Landscape"“Peter spent the first 10 years of his life in the Mallee town of Karoonda approximately 120kms south-east of Adelaide, South Australia, where he was surrounded by huge, infinite and vast landscape. This explains his connection with wide-open spaces and the vibrant colours that nature presents, and which have an immense influence on his work.For subject matter he makes regular artistic journeys to many destinations in Australia and overseas, where he chooses locations that he can mindfully connect to and which have a strong spiritual and indigenous history. The cultural understanding and knowledge gained of each place clearly assists in his capturing the essence and feeling of the land in his paintings.”http://www.petercoadart.com.au/Peter Coad's artwork can be purchased at the Artworx Gallery at Goolwa"Peter's paintings reveal to us landscapes of harsh yet breathtaking beauty as he skilfully blends symbolic interpretations of mountains, wetlands, vegetation and bird life in an endeavour to convey an awareness of the delicate balance of the environment." https://www.artworxgallery.com.au/Artworx Gallery and Gifts is one of the leading contemporary Art Galleries on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula.Artworx Gallery & Gifts opened in October 2005 in the historic river port of Goolwa, 80 kilometres south of South Australia's capital city of Adelaide. Within months of opening, it had established itself as a must-see venue and within a year was being hailed as the finest contemporary gallery on the Fleurieu.Its success has been confirmed by the SA Great organisation and the Southern Alexandrina Business Association, who have both made special Awards to Artworx in recognition of the gallery's contribution to the local arts scene and local artists.Exhibiting are highly talented, award winning artists from around the country works including original paintings, jewellery, wood, metal, sculptures and gifts.  Artworx Gallery and Gifts is located in the centre of Goolwa's heritage precinct, in an 1850s stone cottage and warehouse near the town's restaurants, hotels and historic wharf and railway station, where paddle steamers and steam trains rule. With five rooms plus a courtyard, there is plenty for viewing and contemplating. Works can be shipped throughout Australia and overseas.Artworx Gallery and Gifts is an experience!  Go and Enjoy!  https://www.facebook.com/artworxgallerygoolwa/ “It was a pleasure to chat with Peter Coad about his career as an artist.  So many stories and connections with art in all it's different forms including his painting practice, working on an Australian Film “The Tracker” working with an Australian musician Russell Morris and so much more.  It was a lot of fun and I thank Peter for his generosity of time to share his stories with us. Peter's paintings to me have a peaceful spiritual connection to the earth and makes you want to look into the paintings and in your mind immerse yourself into the beauty and splendour of the landscapes of our earth .” Tania Ingerson Podcaster/Founder TEA The Entrepreneurial Artist Podcast I would like to acknowledge that music played on my Podcast is an original tune by David Innocente, Jazz Musician/Artisthttps://www.innocente.com.au/

Productivity Engineering is at the forefront of the DevOps movement, resembling "bounded context" principles — assess the problem, identify the end-goal, gain alignment, build a framework for how to get there, and push individual teams towards objectives quickly and efficiently. Andrew Glover, Director of Productivity Engineering at Netflix, breaks down the core concept with examples, experiences, and influences along the way.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: James Shore This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with James Shore who is the author of the book, “The Art of Agile.” James is a thought leader in the Agile software development community. He combines deep technical expertise with whole-system thinking to help development teams worldwide achieve great things! Check out his complete biography here! Chuck and James talk about Agile development, James’ background, and future projects! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:48 – Chuck: Welcome! James was on a past episode, which was show 205! Give us an introduction, please! 1:05 – James: I have been involved with the software industry since 1991. I have written a book and it’s fairly evergreen. 1:30 – Chuck: Yeah, I remember that’s when the Agile development was getting really, really hot! 2:09 – James: Yeah in the early 2000s there was this energy to do software really well, and it seems like it’s turned into this bureaucracy. I find that to be depressing a tiny bit. 2:50 – Chuck: Yeah, I agree. 3:01 – James: Going back to a perspective where excellence is no longer the priority; excellence in your craft. 3:31 – Chuck. 3:34 – James: Yeah that was Bob Marten.  James talks about the Agile movement. 4:22 – Chuck: This show is a walk back throughout your story. Let’s talk about HOW you got into this stuff. 4:40 – James talks about his background. 4:58 – Chuck talks about his Grandpa and his experience with technology when he was young. 5:10 – James: ...it had a whopping 2K of memory! That’s really how I got involved into programming. Later on I got a Trash 80 then an Apple 2, so I had programming in through my blood. 6:01 – Chuck. 6:08 – James talks about switching between computer and antenna, and his black and white T.V. He also talks about the electrical engineering program at the university. 7:16 – Chuck: I studied ad received my computer science degree. 7:28 – James. 7:34 – Chuck: You have been in the industry since 2001 and you are a bit older than me. 7:50 – James: My first job was in 1994. Then I wrote some things with Fido Net. Fido Net was this early online form thing. Sort of like Used Net / Used Groups (online bulletin web forms) via the telephone dial-up. They were hobbyists running this out from their home. It was basically chat forms. Once you have some experience (doesn’t matter your degree) – it’s...have you done this before? 9:30 – Chuck: This is RIGHT in-line with what I say in my eBook that I am developing now. 10:00 – James: I didn’t even post that I was looking for a job, but I got very lucky. 10:15 – Chuck: What is your journey look like and how did you get into Agile development? 10:30 – James talks about his Kickstarter, knowledge in JavaScript, programming experience, and more here – check it out! 13:16 – Chuck: How did you get to Agile development? 13:31 – James: I was programming throughout my teens. I was working on a really complicated project. I still play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). It was the most complicated program that I built at that point. I had it in my head and then I didn’t understand it anymore. The program collapsed. To me that was really transformative b/c it’s not writing the algorithms but how it all works together. Then this taught me how to communicate the design to the other members on the team to make it work. 15:50 – James: Have you heard of Rational Rose? You don’t hear about it anymore b/c it was a complete flop. 17:20 – Chuck: Wow! 17:33 – James: It was actually detrimental to get it done. It really was a crisis of faith. I ran into this book: Object Modeling in Color by Peter Coad. Extreme Programming is mentioned, too, by James’ coworker! 21:10 – Chuck: It’s so interesting to me. We focus so much on the technological side, we forget to talk about the people, and the other sides to this. It’s easy to overlook this other stuff. 21:47 – James: There is so much silver bullet thinking within this industry. The original communication from person-to-person is so crucial. It’s so important to software development. Ultimately, the computer doesn’t care, but the collaboration is the real trick and the real challenge. 23:10 – Chuck talks about his brother and his computer science courses experience. 24:27 – James: It could be that 1 team could solve a problem but nowadays it’s working with multiple teams. People want to water things down to help facilitate – but don’t do that. There is a huge large scale Agile that is large interdependent teams. 25:19 – Chuck: MFCEO is a podcast that I am listening to now. He says that nobody wants to sit down and dictate what each member will be responsible for. Chuck reads a quote from an episode from MFCEO – check it out! 26:54 – James: It’s something that people have lost track of. I still program daily even though I do this Agile stuff as well. I have been programming for 25 years and Extreme Programming was the most effective thing for me throughout my career. James: I think XP is the time (now) to have a comeback! 29:41 – Chuck: That was my experience, too. We pushed one team to go to Agile, and then we went to our boss. Chuck: We’d sit down every two weeks and have an Agile-Perspective (what is working and what isn’t working). We are talking about HOW we are writing the software, and that is really what we are after. 30:54 – James: You are building the TEAM that builds the project. Of course, you need to have consistencies across the team, and every team is different b/c every member has different personalities. Mod Programming is we are going to work as a whole group around a screen. Personally, that is not my style but I would TRY it. If it worked for that team then I would do it. 32:00 – Chuck: That is the beauty of it. With this set of programmers x, y, and z may or may not work, and that is O.K. 32:25 – James: I heard about Extreme Programming and I thought it was nuts!! 32:40 – Chuck. 32:44 – James: The more I tried it, and the more it worked. Try Extreme Programming b/c it’s totally a different experience. It’s my book that I wrote 10 years ago but it still is applicable today. Try it for a few months (3 months) or so, b/c it takes time to figure out the different terms and such. Go try out a bunch of new different things, but figuring out HOW to make it work for me. 34:05 – Chuck: Yeah, you need data. Look at the data. Go experiment. 34:47 – James: Try it for real. Check out this essay: “We tried baseball, and it didn’t work.” James: Many things only work in context!  What we do is we change the context in Agile. 35:58 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 36:00 – James: I am actually working on AgileFluency.org. It’s a set of tools for coaches and leaders to CHANGE their context. How can you find those constraints and invest on changing those. 36:31 – Chuck: Where do they go to find you? 36:40 – James: My website - it’s the ugliest website, but it’s been working since 2003. 36:54 – Picks! 37:05 – Fresh Books!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: James Shore This week on My Ruby Story, Charles talks to James Shore about his background, how he got into programming, pitfalls that happened along the way, and his Agile story. James Shore is a thought leader in the Agile software development community. He was an early adopter of Agile development and he continues to lead, teach, write, and consult on Agile development processes. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: James Shore’s background: Consultant, practitioner, and coauthor of “The Art of Agile.” How did you get into programming? Began an interest at 15 years old. How did you go from hobbyist to a professional? Modem background. FidoNet Software and technical design to the agile field. Agile field & development Waterfall Rational Rose “UML Distilled” by Martin Fowler “Java Modeling in Color with UML” by Peter Coad WikiWikiWeb A lot of time we don’t look for these solutions unless we go through the pain. This is so true. In many ways the best learning comes through failure. Design standards. JavaScript If you see a different style – and you can’t get past X, Y, Z – that’s a real sign of immaturity. See past the different styles and find what you could “steal.” Intellectual laziness. Human condition is to not feel inferior. Of course, not every idea is good, but try and see what is the root.  What do you feel like you’ve contributed to the programming industry? And much more!

In particular, we dive pretty deep on: James Shore’s background: Consultant, practitioner, and coauthor of “The Art of Agile.” How did you get into programming? Began an interest at 15 years old. How did you go from hobbyist to a professional? Modem background. FidoNet Software and technical design to the agile field. Agile field & development Waterfall Rational Rose “UML Distilled” by Martin Fowler “Java Modeling in Color with UML” by Peter Coad WikiWikiWeb A lot of time we don’t look for these solutions unless we go through the pain. This is so true. In many ways the best learning comes through failure. Design standards. JavaScript If you see a different style – and you can’t get past X, Y, Z – that’s a real sign of immaturity. See past the different styles and find what you could “steal.” Intellectual laziness. Human condition is to not feel inferior. Of course, not every idea is good, but try and see what is the root.  What do you feel like you’ve contributed to the programming industry? And much more!

We discuss several aspects from his latest book and talk about the people and books that inspired him to write this book. David also shares his knowledge and experiences on Feature Driven Development. This Podcast was recorded in Antwerp at the Lean & Kanban 2010 Europe conference. Links for this podcast The Lean term originates from the book: The Machine That Changed the World, by James Womack, Daniel Jones and Daniel Roos. David's previous book: Agile Management for Software Engineering. Why people fail at multitasking, a short movie. 'Maintenance typically consumes about 40 to 80 percent (60 percent average) of software costs. Therefore, it is probably the most important life cycle phase.' - a quote from an article called Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering by Robert Glass. Feature Driven Development came out as an evolution from the book Object Oriented Analysis from Peter Coad and the project management method of Jeff De Luca. It was first described in the book Java Modeling In Color. Order the game getKanban here. The Deming System of Profound Knowledge is one of the models that David mentions as a tool to improve. Watch the video where Rob Hathaway presents his case studies on Kanban at IPC Media. The people David mentions are: Donald Reinertsen, Jerry Weinberg, Kent Beck, Jon Kern, Joshua Kerievsky, Jim Shore, Steve Freeman, Elizabeth Keogh, Tim McCanna, Russell Healy and Daniel Vacanti.
