Technical Excellence

Here's a very basic first introduction to the concept of Technical Excellence. It covers the basic concepts:

• What obstacles to achieving technical excellence exist for developers. 
• What are non-functional requirements.
• What is technical debt, why is it bad and how can you measure and visualize it.
• And what are the practices you can use to encourage and foster technical excellence.

Unfortunately, I tend to talk a lot in my presentations so there isn't so much text but perhaps it's a useful introduction to the subject for someone.

Here's a link to the presentation for those of you unable to see the embedded version.
