Howard's agile slide deck

Here's a great article by Howard Van Rooijen on the topic of architecture, implementation and tools.

I especially noted the section where he talks about their building blocks that they've built to get up and running quickly:

    Class Library for code reuse - 15,000 lines of code,

    Knowledgebase of "how to" documents (unit testing, code coverage etc)

    Project Accelerators that speed up the development process – including a build system that installs and configures all the tools – reduces 15 man days work to a few minutes – essential as all this set-up work has to occur during the first sprint.

There's some tools mentioned in that article that I really want to play around with; especially in the area of continuous integration and automated builds.
