Special Invited Guest: Laurent Bossavit

Laurent Bossavit is a developer with over 20 years of coding experience, now working as an independent consultant and trainer.

An early adopter of XP in France, Laurent has translated Kent Beck's Extreme Programming Explained to French, was a coauthor of the first French book to appear on Extreme Programming, and has written a number of articles on Agile processes in both English and French. He is an organizer of the XP Day France conference.

In his training and consulting work, Laurent helps people make sense of new and foreign practices, and facilitates cooperation among groups which - in a very real sense - speak different languages.

Special Invited Guest: Michael Feathers

Michael Feathers works with Object Mentor. He currently provides worldwide training and mentoring in Test-Driven Development (TDD), Refactoring, OO Design, Java, C#, C++, and Extreme Programming (XP). Michael is the original author of CppUnit, a C++ port of the JUnit testing framework, and FitCpp, a C++ port of the FIT integrated-testing framework. When he isn't engaged with a team, he spends most of his work time investigating ways of altering design over time in codebases. One of the fruits of this work is his book Working Effectively with Legacy Code (Prentice Hall 2005). Michael's key passion is helping teams surmount problems in large code bases, and connect with what makes developing software fun and enriching.
