Articles
One of the things that makes AYE a different kind of conference is the way we gather before and after the conference to discuss your kinds of problems, in your software and IT development, testing, and management communities. We all struggle with how to create an environment in which people can best work.To participate in our community, please visit our Wiki. The hosts, guest presenters, and attendees from this year and previous years have written numerous articles, exploring both the technical and the human sides of software and IT development.
