Hello ThoughtWorksWell, after almost four years at <a href="http://www.edi.com.au/">EDI</a> (now called <a href="http://www.cargowise.com/"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">CargoWise</span> <span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">edi</span></a>) I am leaving. I finish in the middle of January next year. It has been an interesting time, and I have learnt a lot working with very talented people and from building the framework for a <a href="http://www.cargowise.com/solutions/enterprise-overview.shtml">big solution suite</a> (around 4 million lines of C# code). I've also had the opportunity to experience the very different joys and pitfalls of product management.<br /><br />I will be starting at <a href="http://www.thoughtworks.com/"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ThoughtWorks</span></a> (of <a href="http://nunit.org/"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">NUnit</span></a>, <a href="http://jim.webber.name/">Jim Webber</a> and <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/">Martin Fowler</a> fame) in the middle of February in the new year. I'm expecting that there will be a lot of new exciting stuff to learn, and a lot of variety in terms of clients and technologies. <a href="http://www.thoughtworks.com/"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ThoughtWorks</span></a> are strongly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Programming"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">XP</span></a>, do a lot of development on client sites and even have some <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a> projects. The people I have met from <a href="http://www.thoughtworks.com/"><span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ThoughtWorks</span></a> have all been very friendly and I look <span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">forward</span> to starting there soon :-)James Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00769345740252337538noreply@blogger.com22
