This deck gives a food for thought on the way that web applications need to be conceived of from a "Web 2.0" perspective. The principles postulated seem to me to be solid.

Somehow I managed to miss the fact that the latest version of DSDM (Dynamic systems development method) - aka Atern - is available entirely free of charge as a nifty handbook. I think this version is more complete and easier to apply than the previous versions (but I really have only ever tried out individual elements of the models and never wholesale, but might try it out for fun).
