Funny btu just a little more cynical than the point I was making. I was more one that the transformative aspects of agile as a radical practice will get consumed into commonsense. This will have a dual affect of both shifting practice making it "better" (we see this with TDD & CI and to a lesser extent Pair Programming) and rounding the edges (which is closer to your video) --tb @John.

The main point here is that with WebParts we have to have a lib in the GAC that does not change its version (and is strongly named). Therefore, we had to create a project in the solution that never updated the version. This just adds a little fragmentation and clutter to the solution. In practice, we basically proxied objects through this project. I hope that makes a little more sense. p.s. I am in the last throws of putting together a releasable code sample.

I'm a bit confused by the point 'WebParts: can’t be in a strongly typed binary'. Can you clarify that a little? Thanks! Hi Todd,

Great post. I’m a bit confused by the point ‘WebParts: can’t be in a strongly typed binary’. Can you clarify that a little?

Thanks!

If you suck at writing code then quit. Agile is something that non-software people bullshit about so they can get into software (without knowing the difference between their arse and their elbow).
