Data Structure Metamorphism

Our flagship product (DataConstructor)
is a revolutionary tool that will change the way you develop your databases...
or so we thought. The reality is that Hexagon Software is
changing the way people develop their databases and those people are using DataConstructor
to apply what they've learned.
That's what this course is all about: changing the way you develop your databases
so that Agility can flourish in the database world.
In this course, which usually runs about two hours, we will go through the following
steps:
|
Shifting our Perspective |
|
First, we have to understand what the real differences between databases and programs
really are. |
|
Rethinking our Values |
|
Once we understand how the forces are different, we need to derive a new set of
values from the principles of Agility.
|
|
Changing our Paradigms |
|
Understanding the forces and having a firm grasp on our values, we will explore
a new paradigm for database development.
|
|
Building Practices
|
|
On a solid foundation of perspective, values, and new thinking, we will build a
set of practices which make databases the kind of "fertile soil" the seeds of Agility
would need to germinate.
|
When you are done with the course, you will have the theoretical foundation required
to build a truly Agile database.
At no point during the seminar is DataConstructor
advertised. However, we have found that it is easier to just answer
a question about it honestly, should one arise, than it is to try and tap-dance
around it or push it off to the end of the course. There are also some issues
which are best discussed in terms of that product. No explicit advertising will take place but discussion of our products may take place if required to answer
a question.
