Fall Code Camp 2011 was a Success

My presentation on REST API Design at the Philly.NET Fall Code Camp (www.phillydotnet.org) went well and most all of the speakers made it! That is a plus when you run a speaker track. I feel my presentation went really well, at least I felt the audience was engaged. I posted the presentation at: REST API Design Presentation

I look forward to seeing everyone in the Spring.

Measuring Quality in Agile

People keep wanting to measure defects in the agile process. It doesn't necessarily make sense to me how this relates to quality since the whole team participates in doing what is necessary to move small stories to done. It may measure productivity as fewer defects per story would mean that the team was being more productive. Anyways, agile is about collaboration and getting to done, so I don't think this is very relevant. For quality, measuring the number of issues found in production after release or tracking the over defects per system in production and seeing that track down over time would be better indicators of quality. Thoughts?
