NYC ALT.NET: Steven (Doc) List on Facilitation Patterns and Anti-Patterns

“ This guy is amazing! What an evening. ”

“ I really enjoyed his Doc's presentation. The exercises were a little awkward but I was more than willing to test out his techniques for the discussion that they provided. ”

“ Somehow I thought this was going to have something to with patterns. Like MVC. And how I could facilitate it. I was really anxious to find out what an anti-pattern was, like CVM or something? I had to leave early. ”

“ Good Presentation, Good Presenter, Good Audience Interaction Exercises, Topic was very practical. As a side note, this was my first ALT.NET meeting. I and two others arrived about 15 to 20 minutes early. We waited a long time, but the crowd did not show up. We eventually left the room in search of the meeting. During our search, we discovered a sign that had been erected in the hallway after we entered the original room. The sign indicated that the room had been changed. The new room was larger and could more easily accomodate the group. Unfortunately, we missed some of the meeting. But I still enjoyed it. ”

“ The presentation was energetic and motivating. Steve egaged the entire audience in his presentation and held the attention of everyone there. The excercises helped to implant the principles he taught. Excellent and very relevant to developers, since a good amount of our work is derived from collaborative meetings where requirements and implementation details are discussed. ”
