NNUG Bergen and AltNetBeers User Group Event at QCon London

In the last couple of weeks we (NNUG Bergen) have remotely worked on setting up a user group event together with AltNetBeers with support from QCon London. As of today about 100 people have signed up and will show up at the Glass House on Thursday 18:30. So what have we planned? Well, the QCon speakers: Corey Haines, Udi Dahan, Dan North, Oren Eini (Ayende), Ben Hall, Roy Osherove and Jon Skeet are coming! And if that’s not interesting enough, the AltNetBeers guys are organizing an hour fish-bowl beer-fueled open-space. To get in the proper mood ThoughtWorks will buy us some beers :-) I bet you’re sorry if you’re not in London or heading for QCon now!

Btw. you don’t need to be a QCon attendee to come to this event. You can sign up here. Hope to see you there.

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I’m an Architect for the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring, chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET editor for InfoQ. I've been coding professionally since 1998 and on .NET since 1999. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I’m a great fan of Agile practices like XP, Scrum, Kanban and Lean. My first experience with Agile was in 2006, when I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki (my former employer), which was a great success. Later I found the lack of engineering practices in Scrum pulled me closer to Extreme Programming. I’m constantly trying to motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt the Agile way of thinking to improve the overall quality of software delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I’m also a speaker, focusing on engineering practices (clean code), Agile and best practices (often represented in forms of patterns). At work I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)

Hope you enjoy my blog!
