Outside of the rain, I'm having a fine time in New York City. What's not to enjoy? I spent Monday at Fog Creek's offices in the Fashion District of Manhattan visiting with Joel Spolsky and Sumana Harihareswara. Tuesday and today have been spent at the Syndicate conference. And, I have ventured down to Greenwich Village and Little Itay for dinner with friends.

So, back to Fog Creek Software. They have just come out with a new version of their bug tracking software, FogBugz, which is a project management system we use here at TechSmith in a variety of departments.

Babak Ghahremanpour and Sumana Harihareswara of Fog Creek made a great Camtasia video for the launch of their latest version of FogBugz 5.0. What I like about this video is that it's a great blend of showing the people behind Fog Creek and showing what's new in a product. Click the screenshot below to watch their video. It's a quick video that runs about 2:30 minutes.

I had a few minutes to sit down with Sumana, one of the employees in the video above. She's in Fog Creek's Software Management Training Program - you can read more about it here. Hey TechSmith - Maybe we should look at doing something similar?!

Sumana talked with me about the program and professional development, plus the Camtasia Studio video they recently made. Click the screenshot below to watch our screencast. It runs almost six minutes.

And, check out their reading list! It's impressive - lots of good books for people to read in any industry.
