Re: Looking for Agile Experience

To add another 2 cents... :)

To create "agile" code, making little increments etc, it helps to have an
OO language. Because "agile" code, is simply well constructed code, i.e.
highly modular. You can - of course - create highly modular code in RPG,
but you can do so more, and more granular, with an OO language.

However, the quality of the developers and organisation surrounding them
has much, much more impact. You can do better "agile development" with
modern RPG and good developers, than with mediocre developers and an OO
language.

The reason the consultant is saying stupid things like he does (well you
know allready of course) is that RPG is "foreign", he knows only OO, or
Java, etc.

So apparantly the consultant himself is not very "agile".

I'm looking for someone who can dispute this based on experience - not
theory - which is all I have.

We're doing scrum ... but I don't really see how programming language

enters into it.
