Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
In both my next MSDN article and a bit of my QCon talk I'm exploring the topic of "Essence vs. Ceremony" applied to .Net architectures. Along the way, I reread this gem from Stuart Holloway:

and discovered this from Neal Ford:
Ceremony vs Essense
Stu & co at Relevance are primarily a Ruby shop, but I highly recommend their blog for anyone interested in software craftsmanship.
About Jeremy D. Miller
Jeremy began his IT career writing "Shadow IT" applications to automate his engineering documentation, then wandered into software development because it looked like more fun.

Jeremy is the author of the open source StructureMap (http://structuremap.sourceforge.net) tool for Dependency Injection with .Net and the forthcoming StoryTeller (http://storyteller.tigris.org) tool for supercharged FIT testing in .Net. Jeremy's thoughts on just about everything software related can be found on his weblog "The Shade Tree Developer" at http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeremy.miller, part of the popular CodeBetter site.
