<br>
York Software Group will fill the gap between professional/managerial<br>
talks (BCS/IBM) and dev pub meets (YLUG/Geek Club). YSG will provide<br>
hands-on guidance for professional software development in an<br>
apprentice/journeyman/master style, by building upon the ideas of<br>
agile programming and software craftsmanship. YSG will meet monthly,<br>
with a quarterly cycle of paper/talk/dojo/(social?).<br>
<br>
The first meeting is 7:45 for 8pm start, **Wed 29th Feb** at Fulford<br>
Scout HQ. Beginning with two 10min talks (agile, software<br>
craftsmanship) each with 5min Q&A before an 1hr paper development<br>
exercise. We need a poster making for this event!<br>
