Is it abandoned? Completed? Still a work-in-progress? Hey I was just wondering what the status was of your C# OFX Importer. Is it abandoned? Completed? Still a work-in-progress?

But I agree with the overall thrust. The software craftsmanship guys talk about dojos and katas and even watching how people code and approaches to solving a problem. It certainly could be worth trying as an approach. Is that the kind of thing you are looking for @James I think Alan has tried to be broader, and suspect he is open to just what you say.

Totally agree with what you're saying. Too much tooling, and not enough focus and real implementation problems. Nice post, just noticed you tweeted it.

I've found the altnetbeers that @serialseb organises to be great for this. Although the main topic is not always the easiest place for this sort of thing the ability to engage with people there over a beer and quiz them on problems has been invaluable (both at & after events). This all said I agree with your sentiments. To achieve anything useful in an event style though I think that a full focused day would be needed. +1 on the OpenSpaceCoding days - sadly Alan has been too busy to organise one for a while, but I think that some guerilla type events inspired by what Alan did will be kicking off (I’m organising something small for Feb).

Open spaces coding days are really good and they go much of the way to solving some of the problems I discussed above. However, to the best of the knowledge, open spaces still concentrates on teaching people about particular tools e.g. ioc, tdd. I am more interested in sharing people's practical knowledge about software craftsmanship e.g. how to build a well architected mvc application; only concerning ourselves with tools if they are actually help solve the problem at hand. Also I believe it would be a useful way of giving back to the community, e.g. if someone wants help with how they would best localise an asp.net app. if someone helps them build an example app, this could then be put online for anyone else who might be interested. What do you think? Would this add value? @ian I know about open space coding although annoyingly I have yet to go to one since moving to london (not for want of trying).
