I'm still kinda catching on sleep

but I'm busy right through until Sunday evening (possibly).

Again, if you want to get started on an earlier day that works for you guys go right ahead, no biggie...

I really want to make sure you're included here DD, Sunday evening it is then. What time?

Cool -- well, 7:30pm would be a good guaranteed time I expect to be back home even on weekends where I'm out and about with the kids. Wind down the weekend with some learninating, sounds like a plan?

)

Michael Feathers: "10 Papers Every Programmer Should Read (At Least Twice)"
http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2009/02/26/10-papers-every-programmer-should-read-at-least-twice

apparently Mr. Feathers is highly respected in the agile/TDD community.

And at a quick glance I would say that most of his suggested papers in the list are helpful in getting folks like us (i.e. "Developers", not happy just being code monkey "programmers") to get thinking in a way that makes the task of designing/building stuff easier on our brains... and often on our fingers as well.

That reminds me shall we pick this up again Sunday afternoon?

Mr. Analog · March 23, 2012, 04:24:55 PM

How is everyone's Sunday 3 PM?

Tom · March 23, 2012, 04:54:08 PM

Should be good if I don't overdo it with something again. Or get stuck up all night with stomach pain again

Mr. Analog · March 23, 2012, 04:55:25 PM

Well, I'll check the boards at 1 PM-ish

Darren Dirt · March 23, 2012, 05:14:44 PM

That early is only tentative for me -- evenings are more likely, 7pm+. Even on Sundays, too often 'Man makes plans, and God laughs'

(especially true when you have kids)

I'm open to weeknights providing I know when you guys are free, Sunday night is out for me though.
