Agile Reading

More reading for me. 

The long list of Agile Advice Recommended Materials

The New Agile Roadmap

PPIG

It seems that the Psychology of Programming Interest Group will provide me with access to a good corpus of skills and expertise.

I have now re-registered to the mailing list, backtracked through all the emails from the last year (finding a lost email regarding the PPIG'05 convention in the process), and read the current newsletter.

I now need to begin to consider phrasing a research advice question to the group (and possibly consider submitting a summary for the Spotlight on PPIGers section of the Newsletter).
