About The Presenters:

Ivan Moore is a software development heretic. His heresy started in the early 80's when he preferred Forth to assembly language. In the early 90's he preferred Smalltalk to C++. In 1996 his PhD in automated refactoring was heresy to the formal methods academics around him. Heresies have continued with Jester, MockMaker and build-o-matic. His current heresies are using "new" instead of Spring, code instead of XML, and KISS instead of enterprise architectures. He works for Team Optimization as a project manager, coach, developer and tea boy, helping teams to "get agile".

Mike Hill is an Agile coach and software developer who has been developing software applications since 1993. Since 2001, Mike has been helping Agile software development teams deliver working software, and is a presenter at international industry conferences and helps to organise London XPDay.
