Alan Stevens will deliver a technology and methodology independent tale of the first principles of software development presented in three acts. How do we balance building the right thing with building it well? In this presentation we will examine this question at three levels of focus looking at:

I.The Goal
II.The Guidlines
III.The Practice

This will be an interactive discussion of the values, compromises and practices of successful software development. The focus of this talk is building better software avoiding discussions of methodology, technology and catch phrases and focus on how to deliver value.
