Mocking support in CppUTest

I've added mocking support to the CppUTest C/C++ unit testing framework. Id like to clarify why I've added it, why I've added it the way it is and how you can use it. Why mocking? I won't cover why mocking and

Scrum and Culture

Hmm... its been a while since I posted here. I'll try to re-start this a bit. We also moved the blog to the new odd-e server, which clarifies the new look. The location should be the same though. Earlier this year, I was doing a keynote talk at

Calling BS on fractal processes

ScrumBan Review

Scrumban in a small book by Corey Ladas self-published by lulu.com. The name is somewhat confusing since most of the book is about setting up a SW Kanban system and only a couple of pages are about scrumban (the hybrid between kanban and scrum). Scrumban is an rather interesting

Scaling Agile

Finally. Today I ran to the Fedex to grab my package from them. I just came back to Singapore and hadn't been here for 3 weeks. Last time, they destroyed my package. Didn't want that to happen this time because... Its my own book! Finally the
