In the last decade or so, we've seen a number of new ideas added to the mix to help us effectively design our software. Patterns help us capture the solutions and rationale for using them. Refactoring allows us to alter the design of a system after the code is written. Agile methods, in particular Extreme Programming, give us a highly iterative and evolutionary approach which is particularly well suited to changing requirements and environments.

Martin Fowler has been a leading voice in these techniques, and will give a suite of short talks featuring various aspects about his recent thinking about how these and other developments affect our software development.

Other speakers include:
Vivek Prahlad - Technical Lead, ThoughtWorks Studios - "Testing: Past, Present, and Future" (Bangalore)
Srihari Srinivasan - Lead Consultant, ThoughtWorks - "The Enterprise Web" (Chennai)
Vivek Singh - Lead Consultant, ThoughtWorks - "Architecture, Architects and Agile" (Pune)
