    <title>Jul 13, 2009: Many paths to the top of the (mobile) mountain at The Skiff</title>
    <description><![CDATA[This event is a dress rehearsal for the &quot;Many Paths to the Top of the (Mobile) Mountain&quot; workshop which Joh Hunt and Tom Hume will be presenting at Agile2009 in Chicago at the end of August. For more details, see:<br /><br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://agile2009.agilealliance.org/node/2562">http://agile2009.agilealliance.org/node/2562</a><br /><br />
We&#39;ll be exploring an iterative design process over the course of a 90 minute workshop. It&#39;ll be hands-on, with attendees splitting into groups and designing some small chunks of mobile user interface, regrouping and discovering what we&#39;ve learned.<br /><br />
Doors will open at 7:30pm and we&#39;ll start at 8:00pm. There&#39;ll be discussion afterwards, either at the Skiff or in a nearby pub.<br /><br />
Brought to you by the Brighton Agile Forum.<br />

    <title>Oct  8, 2009: Andy Hunt&#39;s Pragmatic Thinking &amp; Learning: Refactor your Wetware at Skills Matter Limited</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Software development happens in your head - not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. We&#39;re well educated on how to work with software and hardware, but what about wetware, our brains? Join Andy Hunt for a look at how the brain really works (hint: it&#39;s a dual processor, shared bus design) and how to use the best tool for the job by learning to think differently about thinking. Andy looks at the importance of context and the role of expert intuition in software development.<br /><br />
Learn to take advantage of pole-bridging and integration thinking. Compare different laterally-specialized functions, including synthesis vs. analysis and sequential processing vs. pattern-matching. Discover the one simple habit that separates the geniuses from the &quot;wanna-bees.&quot;<br /><br />
