Several geoblogs shared their thoughts on Dirk Gorter hired by ESRI and his intentions to use Agile development. Here's the wikipedia article on Agile software development: "Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project." From GeoScrum: "Both Dave Bouwman and I have written posts asking when the GIS community will start realizing the benefits of agile practices. I believe that with ESRI taking such a definitive stance in favor of implementing agile practices, that this could be the impetus the GIS world has been waiting for. If the market leader in GIS software is going agile, hopefully the rest of the GIS market will follow their lead."

Chris Spagnuolo writes "I've created a brief 10 question survey to gauge the level of agile adoption in the GIS industry. The survey takes no longer than 5 minutes to complete and doesn't require any corporate, personal, or confidential information. To take the survey click here. The survey is being hosted courtesy of SurveyMonkey. I'll publish the results of the survey on my GeoScrum blog in the next month or so."

Application Domains: DTS Virtual Earth/AGS/REST Code Dojo
[+]
Chris Spagnuolo writes "If you're interested in the kinds of GIS development we've been playing around with lately here at DTS, you can check out our new site, the DTS Dojo. We've put up a bunch of web GIS demos that we've developed, including a very cool Virtual Earth demo of some work we just did for National Geographic. We'll be adding more samples soon, but check it out, there's lot's of good stuff up there already including ArcGIS Server, Virtual Earth and REST API demos." Chris was the one behind the Agile GIS survey. REST and GIS was a hot topic last year, see some related stories below.
