I know he has a natural Charisma and superb witty humor that makes him a nice presenter but thats not the reason I like him so much. I have never had so much common thoughts with another developer / manager about software development.

Here are my two most fav presentation by Dan North , if you are interested in Full Software Development Lifecycle, Agile , Architecture, you are going to love it (or hate it if you have been practicing waterfall for last 20 years):

1 . Simplicity, The Way of the Unusual Architect (Have you heard about ‘YAK Shaving’ ? if not, you must see this!!! I insist!)

2. Keeping Agile Agile
