Somik RahaWelcome to my page. My interests include Design Patterns, Extreme Programming. I am an Extreme Programmer and Coach at Industrial Logic, Inc. (http://www.industriallogic.com).
To visit my page, go to http://www.geocities.com/somik/ I am a member of CALJUG (http://www.caljug.org) and XPIndia (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xpindia)
I like ExtremeProgramming, and am trying to follow it at my work place. I find the connection between and Aikido and Extreme Programming very fascinating. I have written about it at ExtremeProgrammingAndAikido.
I've read LateralThinking by Edward DeBono?, and can't help noticing the Lateral element in Extreme Programming. Check LateralThinkingInExtremeProgramming. Recently read the book FiveDysfunctionsOfATeam - and I think it holds explanations as to why XP manages to succeed and build great teams.
Also, check out the wiki page of JoshuaKerievsky
Writings that I am inspired by - Swami Vivekananda's talk about what Hinduism is at the World Parliament of Religions, Chicago (September 11, 1893):

My Favorite Books :
''Somik, Thanks for the discussion about XP and Aikido! I have been interested in some time in learning Aikido because I had heard some about its content. But I had not heard before of its unique self-paired teaching style. That makes it even more interesting!
Perhaps others would want to compare other programming styles (waterfall methodology, etc.) to other martial arts?''
