Hi, my name is Chris Nicola and I’m a software developer/engineer/architect or whatever flavour-of-the-month title is floating around these days. Simply put I create software. I’ve have a B.Sc(Eng) and M.Sc in applied math with computing and communications (they had a three-for-one special on engineering degrees that year). This blog is primarily about my learnings and (mis)adventures in software development. I’ve discussed languages, frameworks, patterns and practices, tools, etc. I’ve also blogged quite a bit about agile software development and more recently I’ve been upgrading that thinking with the ideas from lean and The Lean Startup. On the side, I also enjoy cooking, brewing beer, drinking beer, and photography so I may occasionally break from the regularly schedule programming to post up new sets of photos or a new recipe that’s worked out particularly well. You can also follow me on twitter @lucisferre and on Google+.
