Another of the vignette shows from Oredev, Carl and Richard explore topics of communication. Up first is Udi Dahan, discussing his approach to domain driven design, focusing on communicating deeply with the stakeholders and domain experts to thoroughly explore the domain - even around something on the surface that seem simple like the concept of a customer. Next, Jim Benson digs into Kanban, including the idea of personal Kanban, which like the development and manufacturing methodology, focuses on being able to clearly see how much work is in progress and where things are being delayed from completion. Finally, the one-and-only Jon Skeet, talking about how his technical communication skills have evolved from answering thousands of questions on newsgroups and Stack Overflow.

Jon Skeet is a C# and Java developer currently working at Google in the
UK. For many years he has been a frequent poster in technical
newsgroups, and has been awarded as a C# MVP by Microsoft since 2003.
His C# web site contains some of the most frequently referenced articles
on topics such as singleton implementations and parameter passing. He
was a member of the writing team for "Groovy in Action" in 2007, and his
first solo book, "C# in Depth", came out in May 2008. Jon is interested
in tracking how languages and platforms are evolving to blend imperative
and functional styles of programming, as well as providing more support
for parallelism.
While his "day job" is programming in Java, Jon is a C# developer at
heart. In his 20% time at Google he is currently working on a C# port of
the recently open-sourced "Protocol Buffers" serialization framework.
