Hello fellow .NET pragmatic programmers!

If you are interested in starting an "ALT.NET" group here in Atlanta, please join me at Thinking Man Tavern in Decatur for a couple hours of drinking and thinking!

The topics for discussion will be up to participants. I imagine most people will be interested in things like:

Agile & Scrum
Agile Estimation and Planning
User Stories
Test-Driven-Development and Automation (TDD)
Design Patterns
Mock Objects
Continuous Integration (CI)
ASP.NET Model-View-Controller Framework (MVC)
AJAX
Object-Relational-Mapping (ORM)
Dependency-Injection (DI)
Domain-Driven-Design (DDD)
Behavior-Driven-Development (BDD)
Open Space Technology

I made a wiki for Atlanta at: http://atlalt.net/scr...

We aim to create a community of developers in Atlanta dedicated to helping each other learn and apply the best of .NET technologies. Our goals are pragmatic in and nature and support this vision:

1. Support one another in our individual and collective quests for continuous learning and improvement
2. Be pragmatic about the practices and tools we use in building our .NET applications
3. Select practices and tools that enable us to deliver the best quality and/or value to our customers

I am very interested in is learning about the immense collection of knowledge contained in the books and resources listed at http://altnetpedia.co....

I've also started collecting some related links at http://atlalt.net/scr... about Agile and Scrum

Hope to see you soon,
Josh
