Ron Lichty spoke to SofTech recently.  His presentation, Making Your Software Development Hum, contained a lot of useful information for software professionals.  Since I manage DesignMind‘s custom software development and database teams, I found this topic particularly interesting and valuable.

Ron learned his trade at companies like Apple, Schwab, Berkeley Systems, and Avenue A/Razorfish.  He’s Co-chair of SDForum‘s Emerging Technology and Software Development Best Practices Special Interest Group.  I’ve known Ron since the dot-com boom, and over the years have seen him leverage his large development community following to raise a lot of money for charity, an effort I’ve always admired.

Software development is difficult to be good at individually, and even harder to perfect as a team.  This is a discipline where you have to deliver something that works, and if you don’t, it’s obvious.  What’s not so obvious, though, is whether you got the job done as well as you could have.  It’s worthwhile to look over Ron’s slides and see his suggestions for making your software development efforts more productive and enjoyable.

If you missed Ron’s presentation to SofTech, he’ll be presenting to the East Bay Innovation Group on October 7, 2009.
