Our annual tradition of getting together and discussing books has continued into its fifth year!
It’s not a book club in the traditional sense. Instead, we invite attendees to Bring-a-Book (or blog post, podcast, other media) that has influenced them.
This year, for the first time since 2020, we were able to get together in the Raven in Glasgow.
Books
- “Team Topologies: Organizing Business and Technology Teams for Fast Flow” by Matthew Skelton, Manuel Pais, Edward Bauer
Two people brought this book this year!
