World-class software development requires far more than language/platform expertise and steady sprints. Join us as we describe time-tested, industry-proven software best practices at the team, organization, and leadership levels, sharing examples from recent engagements with software teams of all sizes.
Construx is led by industry leader Steve McConnell, author of Code Complete and More Effective Agile. Software experts first and software trainers and consultants second, our team has seen what works and doesn’t work in hundreds of software organizations.
Host Mark Griffin spent the first half of his career as an electrical engineer doing silicon hardware design and leading software automation teams. He moved into the sales side of software because he wanted to spread the value of what his company was building. It was supposed to be a one-year assignment that turned into the second half of his career. His balance of deeply technical skills and right-brain artistry also makes him a masterful home brewer!

#7 Special Guest Jeff Atwood, Part 2: Jeff and Steve on Effective Software Development Process
We’re happy to continue the conversation between Steve McConnell and Jeff Atwood. Jeff is a software developer, author, and entrepreneur known for blogging at Coding Horror, co-founding the computer-programming question-and-answer website Stack Overflow, and, currently, developing Discourse, a powerful open-source discussion platform. Over the holidays we recorded Jeff and Steve discussing Steve’s new book, More Effective Agile, which Jeff had just read. Their discussion touches on numerous aspects of effective—and wise!—software development.
