GeekUp Sheffield II / Encouraging Agile Discipline
June 5th, 2008
Last night I gave my first presentation in the form of the huddle at GeekUp Sheffield II. A few people asked me for the slides so I've posted them on my blog. You can grab the PDF version here.

Many thanks to everyone who attended and spoke at the event, and to Jag for organising it. It was a great night, and I hope enough people will come forward to speak next month to make it even better.
