This post was originally written to be published as a chapter in an upcoming book on IT architecture. The book will be presented at the Landelijk Architectuur Congres 2009 in Nieuwegein, The Netherlands. This post will likely also be published in two parts in Software Release Magazine. Ondanks dat ik inmiddels al zo’n twintig jaar in dit vakgebied rondloop, blijven […]

Although I do publish occasionally, I’ve reached a novelty this month. My writings are published in five different printings in parallel: Writing better software faster. Column in SDN Magazine. Highway to hell. DevTweet column with Marianne van Wanrooij in SDN Magazine. Pragmatic model driven development , part II. Article in Software Release Magazine. The bug as feature. Column in Software […]
This post is published in Software Release Magazine, and in slightly adapted form as an expert opinion on the Computable website. Al sinds jaar en dag houd ik mij bezig met het begrip agile. Mijn team en ik schreven de eerste versie van de agile-methodiek Smart bijvoorbeeld al in 1998, in eerste instantie als extensie voor DSDM. In het afgelopen […]
Published in my Interesting Things column in SDN Magazine, November 2009. Looking back on twenty years of software development, I must have spent most of that time trying to improve the quality and productivity of software development. Ever since I started to write small applications in Turbo Pascal in 1988 I got infected with the writing-better-software-faster virus. Right after I […]
Note. This series of posts is also published as a Capgemini group white paper and published in Software Release Magazine (in Dutch, in two parts). The next step towards generated code, and other deliverables, is to create the domain model for the project. Next to the smart use cases, that capture the desired behavior, the domain model provides a structural […]

In projects that are executed using the Accelerated Delivery Platform, Capgemini’s open knowledge platform for agile software development, a lightweight, pragmatic approach to model driven development is used. This approach can be expressed in […]

With the economy at a low point in time, organizations and project are clearly resetting their goals. Long term multimillion projects are being halted, in favor of short, agile projects, with feasible goals and good […]
This column will be pulished in the September 2009 issue of Software Release Magazine (www.release.nl). Eind augustus gleed er een opvallende leaflet in mijn gloednieuwe brievenbus. Een leaflet van McDonalds. Niet dat ik daar normaliter veel acht op sla, maar deze trok mijn onverdeelde aandacht. “Ook Utrecht Leidsche Rijn heeft nu een eigen McDonalds. Uniek in Nederland. het is de […]
This post was published in .NET Magazine. I recently did a talk at the SDC Conference at Papendal, Arnhem, discussing this topic. As you’re probably have been made aware of in abundance, in .Net 3.5 Microsoft introduced a little language feature called LINQ. Although LINQ has been demonstrated at all major and minor conferences, the way LINQ executes queries on […]
