Videos

Explore OOPSI through a growing collection of videos, from informal behind-the-scenes conversations recorded during the writing of the book to conference talks, interviews and podcasts. Whether you're just getting started or looking to explore a specific topic, there's something here for every stage of your OOPSI journey.

Behind the Scenes

These informal videos were recorded during my Extreme Book Writing sessions with Ceri Sargunar and Sam Carpenter. They helped me get the ideas out of my head and onto the page, exploring OOPSI chapter by chapter as the book took shape. They're not polished (and the video quality isn't perfect!), but they offer a genuine behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of OOPSI. Each video explores a different aspect of the framework in a relaxed, conversational way.
