UgiALT.NET: What’s?
• UgiALT.NET is a group of geeks that love the
ALT.NET philosophy
– A mailing list to discuss
– A meeting every (about) six months
– Nothing else
What’s the meaning of ALT
• ALT != Being Alternative
• ALT == Having Alternatives
Why ALT.NET
• Traditional UserGroups are “about
technology”
• More important is:
– OOP Base Principles
– Development Processes and Methodologies
– Alternative Tools
– Enjoying our job
ALT.NET Manifesto
– You use what is best for your job, but always look for
way to improve
– You look at the World outside Microsoft to try and get
what’s best from each World: Agile, Java, RoR, …
– You seek for continuous improvements: code can be
better, process can be better, tools can be better
– You know that tools are important, but alone are not
enough. Principles and knowledge are the real
important factors. The best tools are the ones that
help applying the principles.
