Weekly agile links 24th - 28th April 2010

Just a few links this time.. nothing to do with the annual.. "things" I have to do every year around this time.. Been on the BDD topic this week with a visit to NxtGen in Southampton and also been doing some research so I thought I'd start with a bdd link and if that doesn't do it or you're anyway a .net folk check this as well.

All of my links from last week below. Enjoy;)
