Epicenter Dublin Update

Hi Folks,

It appears that the link to the epicenter session is now down.

The excerpt for the session was as follows:

How A Little Bit of Philosophy Can Affect The Products You Build

I will be presenting a look at StoryBoard, a planning tool with a little bit of a difference.
I will be explaining the overall technical approach of distributed, self-contained, collaborative web-applications, built by applying a few simple, adaptable philosophies to produce great results.
A few of which are:
- “Do The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work” shouldn’t mean barely useable
- Write fewer, more elegant features, which are used more often
- Intuition can be taught, if the conventions are simple enough (a.k.a. people aren’t dumb)

more to follow as part of the session…

The PDF version of the slides from the session HowALittleBitOfPhilosophyCanAffectTheProductsYouBuild doesn’t include speaker notes, so please let me know if you need any more details around the session.
