The Modern Developer Agile Methodology

What is “The Modern Developer“?

The “Modern Developer”, TMD, is a robust concept for designing, developing, and delivering World Class solutions in the Modern Technology age.

It is based on experience, research, success and most of all failure.

It is NOT the Only road map for development in the modern technology age.

The Modern Developer Blog and Website defines the Best Practices, Code Standards Design Patterns and Principles of at least one person that practices TMD every day:
Brad Huett

This work started as a complete thought process, best practices in an Object Oriented Programming world and practical technology examples and philosophical book titled:

A Paradigm of Thought
– A Modern Development Philosophy –

I soon realized that an interactive information and education site would better serve my heart-felt responsibility:

To expose the younger generations of Technologists the wisdom I have achieved during my thirty-plus year journey through Technology. This Journey has earned me the right to compete on the world technology stage

The driving philosophy is the Modern Development consists of two paradigms of thought:

1. The Art of Software Development – The Design Principles, Code Standards, Design Patterns and Best Practices that are agnostic to the Development Sciences

2. The Science of Modern Development – Specific Platforms, Languages, Frameworks and related Technologies that have been the chosen disciplines of the Modern Developer

The Modern Developer is a lifetime student of the Art of Software Development and a daily practitioner of the their Selected Software Development Sciences.

The Modern Developer

… Is a Road Map for Earning a Ticket

….. To Play on Technology’s World Stage

What is TMD Agile Methodology?”

The “Agile Methodology”, for the Modern Developer, is a set of proven processes, business and delivery guidelines, development models and best practices.

It is based on Robert Martin’s development alternative to the traditional “Waterfall” process.

This baseline for business technology solution development implementing the Agile concept was first introduced in 2002 through the publication:

Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices

There are Countless Ways

… of Achieving Positive Results using Agile Methodologies

…. TMD Agile is One of those Ways, but not the Only Way

 TMD Agile’s processes and guidelines are always designed to the specific culture, climate and requirements of each Client’s business requirements.

TMD Agile Is Not a Template Boilerplate Model
It is a Road Map for Business Technology Success
