Software "Best" Practices, Agile Deconstructed

"Best" really depends on context ‐ and this introduction to software "best" practices will focus on the evaluation and integration of the practices that constitute many of today's "Agile" methods. One of the interesting observations made by members of the software community is that "what is old ‐ is new again" when it comes to Agile. Another observation is that "best" is not universally applicable and boundary conditions do apply ‐ due to variations in customers, competition, context, culture, tools, scale and scope ‐ of the systems developed. This talk ‐ intended for researchers, practitioners, managers and educators ‐ does not require any specific programming knowledge and has evolved over the past ten years based on experience gleamed at several multinational organizations developing large software systems.

Please see the attached pdf for additional information regarding the speaker.

Advanced Bionics, LLC is offering a four hour discussion on May 1st, 2009 covering the technical difficulties facing software engineers.

Advanced Bionics, LLC makes cochlear implants, and is headquartered in Valencia, CA, but our software department is located in Sylmar, CA. For more information about who we are and what we do, please visit www.bionicear.com.

The day will be spent discussing the architecture and infrastructure of AB’s fitting software, SoundWave. SoundWave is a C# WinForms application developed over the past five years used to adjust stimulation settings for one or more cochlear implants on a patient. SoundWave has a multilayer Service Oriented Programming (SOP) architecture that uses our own implementation of an Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) infrastructure to handle everything from thread marshalling to enforcement of our state machine rules. Multiple static threads are used to keep SoundWave responsive.

Tech Talk Topic: Living in the Cloud: Hosting Data & Apps Using the Google Infrastructure

Building modern web applications is hard work. The traditional problems of infrastructure, systems administration, and scalability need to be taken into account throughout the software life cycle. Data needs to be published in a way that makes it accessible to others, and will probably need to be consumed from existing services as well. All in addition to actually building your application.

This talk will provide an overview of two technologies that aim to make this process easier by building upon Google's distributed computing system: Google App Engine and the Google Data APIs.

Please RSVP online here.

Google is accepting full-time applications for the software engineer role. BS and MS students, please apply online at www.google.com/students before October 15th to be considered for an on campus interview. PhD students do not have an application deadline. Bringing a resume to the tech talk will help expedite the process as well.

If you are interested in summer internships, please sign up for a notification online at http://services.google.com/events/intern_opps and you will be contacted via email when we begin accepting applications.

Please contact Hanah Kim at hanah [at] google [dot] com if you have specific questions or concerns.

For full details please see the attached flyer. Also be sure to join us for the Google Tech Talk this Tuesday.
