Shocking lack of Agile/XP/ Scrum awareness
Recently at career day for the computer science department at Palomar while sitting in various sessions listening to the speakers giving presentations, I asked a couple of the speakers about their experiences with any development methods such as Agile, SCRUM or XP and what they thought of them.
What surprised me was not that they hadn't done any development in them but that they had no idea what I was talking about. It was shocking. I just assumed that every person in the industry would at least have heard of them. Maybe not SCRUM but at least agile and XP.
I really wonder how many other programmers there are that aren't using these methods or aren't aware of them. Here are some interesting links for development.

Sadly, the shocking lack of awareness of "newer" software development methodologies is everywhere! I was just at an industry conference next week where I was explaining to developers what Agile and Scrum are.
We're very glad to see students exploring these methodologies. If you are interested in seeing the freeware tool we develop to help implement Scrum, please visit our website, download it, and email me. I'm happy to cut you a license for as many users as you'd like so you can use it for any projects you might be doing with your friends!
Keep fighting the good fight :)
