Agile Software Development
Short Description
Ideas about the process of developing software have been around almost as long as software itself. These ideas progressed from ad hoc processes to various forms of the waterfall model. Then in 1999, Kent Beck published a book entitled Extreme Programming Explained. The ideas presented in this book broke away from the waterfall model and presented a new paradigm for developing software - Agile Software Development. This paper focuses on the agile development process developed at Strategic Data Systems and presents the results of using this process on three projects.

Agile Programming Design to Accommodate Change
Short Description
Agile development provides a set of practices simple enough to engage developers, managers, and customers yet sufficiently sound and disciplined to build quality software with predictability (see www.agilemanifesto.org). Applications are expected to evolve over time as their requirements change, and agile development’s refactoring and testing practices accommodate software evolution. (Indeed, Extreme Programming’s maxim is “embrace change,” and today’s best developers view refactoring as a badge of honor.)

Search Engine Optimization Miniseries Good SEO Triumphs!
Short Description
Back in May I created an SEO case study entitled “Rich Website, Poor Website” in which I reenacted the classic TV miniseries “Rich Man, Poor Man”. As part of this study, I offered to track and compare the performance of two competing, sibling websites WITHseo.com and WITHOUTseo.com. The two websites WITHseo.com (www.WITHseo.com – the “Rich Website”) and WITHOUTseo.com (the “Poor Website”) look similar but they have been designed and maintained quite differently.

An Introduction to Programming with C# Threads
Short Description
This paper provides an introduction to writing concurrent programs with “threads”. A threads facility allows you to write programs with multiple simultaneous points of execution, synchronizing through shared memory. The paper describes the basic thread and synchronization primitives, then for each primitive provides a tutorial on how to use it. The tutorial sections provide advice on the best ways to use the primitives, give warnings about what can go wrong and offer hints about how to avoid these pitfalls. The paper is aimed at experienced programmers who want to acquire practical expertise in writing concurrent programs. The programming language used is C#, but most of the tutorial applies equally well to other languages with thread support, such as Java.
