Ft. Lauderdale “Software Best Practices Conference”, Nov 2009 – 06

**************************************

Visitors to my Flickr site sometimes assume that I’m a full-time photographer, but that’s hardly the case. As I’ve explained on my profile page, my "day job" is in the computer field: I work as a consultant, speaker, and author in software development and project management. That job includes speaking at various computer conferences, including the IT Metrics and Productivity Institute’s "Software Best Practices" conferences that are held in various parts of the country.

That’s what brought me to Ft. Lauderdale in mid-November this year. I thought I might find some interesting photographic opportunities when I arrived on the afternoon before the conference, but the beach was almost empty, and the "strip" along the beach seemed to consist of relatively boring bars and Mexican restaurants. So, aside from a single picture of a mysterious bird that I saw waddling along the street (an osprey? heron? who knows?), most of the pictures are of various speakers at the conference itself. These may not mean much to you, but it will give at least a small sense of some of the issues that software professionals and IT managers care about in today’s tough economic times…
