Software G Forces: the effects of acceleration was one of my favorite talks this year, which together with the book Continuous delivery bring to life again the big theme of agile movement: how to better build software.

Today I ran into a video by Kent Beck, where he talks about the strategies to take into account when evolving big data structures, growing code or carrying architectural changes out: big transitions in small steps. This is complementary to the first in the sense that Beck drills down here and talks about specific practices on how to accelerate your development and deployment processes. Highly recommended:
