On the last day I had just enough time to listen to Eric Smith and Eric Meyer from 8th light where they talked about TDD with IPhone.
What was interesting was even while working with this difficult technology (Objective C is not hard but Xcode is nothing but cryptic – XIB files really?) they were able to build iPhone apps without giving up of basic principles of TDD.

They demonstrated their struggle before any tools were available for Unit testing with iPhone.
Couple of tools they mentioned were

1. Google Toolbox for the Mac

2. OCUnit

Something to make life less miserable when building better applications with iPhone.

Very busy even though I started at 11:00am.

Met a number of ThoughtWorkers, ex-ThoughtWorkers(talking about Aslak, Liz, h, Foemmel, Glenn Bernsohn, Naresh Jain) and many people I did not know before.

ThoughtWorks booth is a hit – atleast 25 entries for the free ipod touch.

Met people from Moscow, Israel, Brazil, India, UK.

Met people from different Agile organizations. So wonderful to see so much activity in the agile space. Just proves that ThoughtWorks has been right all along and we can say “We told you so”.

Went to interesting session from Mary Poppendieck – impressed by her speaking
skills. (Hope I can come close to those skills during my talk with Paulo).

Hope to see many more at the Agile Open office at the ThoughtWorks Chicago office tomorrow.

I will be speaking at Agile Conference 2009 in Chicago between August 24-28. You will find all the other speakers from ThoughtWorks on ThoughtWorks website.

My colleague and compadre from my TWU trainer stint Paulo Caroli and Sumeet Moghe will be there too.

See you there.
