June 11th Meeting

Try TDD Again (and again)

Success on an Agile project relies heavily on the people in the trenches. Developers, testers, and product managers focused together, can deliver astonishing accomplishments in a short amount of time. Extraordinary results require discipline, motivation and alignment. Test Driven Development (TDD) and Refactoring creates the momentum to help developers organically adapt to an endlessly changing world.

In this hands-on tutorial, you will see and try simple TDD and Refactoring exercises. After the session, we hope you will be inspired with the patience and discipline to start your own crawl/walk/run transformation into extraordinary accomplishments. Please, bring your insights, your design skills and a laptop loaded with the tools needed to code in your language of choice (don't forget your unit testing framework or you will be coding in Javascript).

The audience will participate in a coding dojo and will need a machine with an IDE, and a unit test framework (like NUnit).

Come and enjoy the excitement!

I went to the Microsoft Connect site and it looks like they are trying to get home users, students, and small businesses to agree to use Office 2010 on a “loaner” laptop for 6 months and then be willing to “share your story” through...

  • Microsoft Patterns & Practices Summit

    I just saw an e-mail that says Microsoft is having a “fan drive” to get fans of the Microsoft Patterns & Practices summit on their Facebook group. You can go to the P&P Summit Page on Facebook and become a fan. On the page there is this description of the summit. If you're a software architect or developer who is passionate about mastering...
