In this issue...

In this issue, we have a detailed article on Being Productive.

Abstract: As software developers we spend most of our day on the computer. We must constantly find ways to be productive so we can be effective and, at the same time, enjoy reduced stress. In this article we will look at some ways we can gain productivity while using our computers. Please visit http://www.agiledeveloper.com/download.aspx to download the complete article from the Agile Developer web site.

Message from us

This eLetter disappeared for well over a year! Why? Simple reason—things got too busy (not that things got any slower now). Then why did it surface back up again now? Another simple but important reason—you asked for it! Over the past three months, it was a pleasant surprise to hear from readers across the country, who, in person, mentioned how they have enjoyed reading the articles and asked why it stopped. One reader in particular said "I always enjoyed reading it, but never answered the quiz because I know I will not be the first to respond." (we've changed a few things in the quiz section just for you! :) ) Sincere thank you to all for your input.

If you would like any question to be addressed or topic to be discussed, please send us an email at agility@agiledeveloper.com. We love to hear from you.

Please send suggestions, corrections and comments to agility@agiledeveloper.com
