Stelligent News Test Early™
January 2008

Hi Andrew,

The beginning of the New Year finds us continuing to grow; in fact, we're expanding so much that we're hiring. If you're interested in working with some of the leading experts in the areas of Continuous Integration, Test-Driven Development and other Agile practices, then we want to talk to you!

Thanks to the popularity of our Agile roundtables, we'll be traveling up to Minneapolis next month to host another event on test-driven development. If you're local to the Twin Cities area, and are up for a candid discussion on TDD, then clear your calendar the evening of February 21st and join us.

That same week, you're also going to want to join us in Reston, VA at the 2G Experience Conference. If you're interested in finding out more about Groovy & Grails, the next generation of Java solutions, plan on attending February 21-23! Compliments of Stelligent, you'll receive a special $250 discount upon registering online. All you have to do is use promo code, stelligent250, and register today.

I'm also pleased to announce that CMP Media, who runs the annual Jolt awards, announced this year's finalists, and "Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk" made the cut for best technical book! Thanks to all our supporters for the nomination!

Finally, if you're a passionate developer and are local to the DC area and are interested in infusing the .NET mainstream with tools and techniques found in the Open Source environment, you'll want to attend the next ALT.NET meeting (sponsored by Stelligent!) on February 20th. Sign up today!

Sincerely,

Andrew Glover
President, Stelligent Incorporated
