A.K.A. Dang Dude
I am a former Certified
PowerBuilder Instructor, and former certified Sun/SunOS/Solaris system administrator.
I'm currently an Applications Software Programmer for
NorthropGrumman Information Technology (
http://www.northropgrumman.com/).
I'm certainly not anti-agile, but I have personal experience with successfully completing the SEI
PersonalSoftwareProcess (PSP) course, and being part of a team to use this knowledge and what is usually called a "heavyweight" process to complete a multi-year project under budget and schedule, all the while fielding changing requirements. In late 2002, we were one of the teams who helped
NorthropGrumman achieve CMMI level 5. Many years later (2013), I have to say that it's commitment from management that makes it sustainable.
In 2007, I will be developing an approach for using
TestDrivenDevelopment (TDD) in a
PersonalSoftwareProcess environment.
I have enjoyed many years of
PowerBuilder and
OracleDatabase development, and used both in developing a multi-tier web application.
I have many years of programming in pre-
CeePlusPlus/ANSI
CeeLanguage.
I'm currently loving
PythonLanguage (but who isn't?), and use it frequently to parse code and data files for review (e.g., finding defects) and action (e.g., converting from
SqlServer data and
TransactSql code to
OracleDatabase data and
PlSql).
