Barcamp Bangkok #4 2010 - My experience (Part2)

Last time, I talked about sections that I have no ideas and knowledge. But, in this part, I'm interested in topics then went to those rooms.

15:00 - 15:30 - Room 1001 - Seeking Hyper Productivity by @juacompy

The speaker come from Proteus Technologies. He is an employee in international company. In this section, he said that his company can do hyper productivity. In my opinion (conclusion), separate the factors that effect to the productivity into two sections: Project management and member personality. Project management includes group flow, how to manage works should be divided in functions not divide by tasks because if we divides work by tasks, for example, Jim gather requirements and John design database. How can John doing it? he know nothing about project requirements. It needs a lot of communication to succeed. So, he suggest to divide works by functions and then do work that related to own function. Also, which technologies we should use to achieve the project, he said he uses dynamic and appropriate languages to build. Doing from easy parts first and then follow by hard parts can increase your confident to make your productivity improve a lot. Second, Member personality, he said a project manager should understand his teammates very well, and also each member should know himself/herself very well to know what time they can have the highest productivity. Then manage themselves to do works in their prefer styles.

15:30 - 16:30 - Room 1002 - Agile Architecture by Ben Scherrey
In this topics,  I totally forgot about a story the speaker said on that day - -".
I know only he said he uses  test driven development and scrum to collaborate with his customer to reduce overhead. Also, has small cross function teams. For each team, one person know everything. Uses continuous integration entire processes. Write an automate testing to test the system.

16:30 - 17:30 - Room 1006 - All Mashed Up - HTML5 + JQuery + Google Code + YQL by Naoroll
I think the speaker come from Google Sigapore. He show how to connect HTML5 + JQuery + Google App Engine + YQL together. He also uses Google spreadsheet as database. Each sheet is similar to a table. Uses YQL to query everything from the internet like select * from internet for mesh up data which you can get it from Yahoo Developer Network. At the end, he gave a Google shirt if show him about our work. At that time, I forget about my Android game - -" to show him for a shirt. Again, he gave a Google sticker for each audience but, unfortunately, ran out of stickers in front of my eyes T_T

Next time, I will write about day 2.
