Martin in Rio

Martin Fowler did his first talk in South America. It happened this Monday, June 14^th in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Martin is the keynote speaker for the Agile Brazil 2010 conference (June 22^nd to 25^th in Porto Alegre). Before reaching the South of Brazil, Martin spent a few days in Rio de Janeiro where he enjoyed the city, met a few friends from Thoughtworks Brazil, and spoke at the 3 hour event held at Puc-Rio. Although the event’s official name was “Software development in the 21^st century”, it got known by its nickname: Martin’n Rio.

Rodrigo Toledo and Paulo Caroli opened the event with the talk: "Como Agile tem transformado a área de TI"; then Martin gave a series of three twenty-minutes talks: (1) DSL, (2) Richardson maturity model for REST, and (3) Continuous Delivery.
