This is my first posting on the blog. I figured that the best way to get this technical blog rolling is by talking about a presentation that I did recently in my company for a Lunch-N-Learn(LNL) for producing better Software. I named the LNL as "Software Process Excellence - SPEx".

Infact I was thinking of a more attractive acronym before SPEx. Since the slides talked about Continuous Integration (CI) I was initially thinking of naming the session as Software Excellence through Continous Integration for which the acronym turned out to be SExCI (hmm sure does sound attractive    ) For professional reasons, I decided to go with SPEx instead of SExCI.

I did 3 LNL sessions for more than 70 people, and the sleep count was only 3!. The following is a summary of what was covered in the presentation

1. Topics
