Jonathan Rasmusson on the Pragmatic Bookshelf

This is a very good podcast from the Pragmatic Bookshelf that talks about agile development in a broad sense. You’ll recognize a lot of scenarios from your day to day development life in here. It’s only 40 minutes. Worth a listen and some reflection.

Jonathan Rasmusson discusses his new book “The Agile Samurai: How Agile Masters Deliver Great Software”. As a former evangelist for ThoughtWorks, Jonathan brings a real world, hands-covered-in-muck approach to the subject of Agile development. What is Agile, really? And not from a theoretical point of view, but from the trenches? What works? What doesn’t? How do you get started? Although “exciting” might not be a word most people think of when discussing software development, Jonathan’s energy and infectious enthusiasm is apparent on this interview with host Miles Forrest.
