| About this blog |
|
This is the journal of an APL project in which I'm trying out some XP practices. I presented some of my conclusions in a research report at the XP 2003 conference in Genoa in May 2003.
This is also my exploration of blogging. So you may find the appearance of the blog changes drastically from time to time. Or it might be broken next time you visit. It's my personal sandbox.

Sarah Glasgow, Thomas Cranmer fan
I'll say no more than necessary; if that.
