My session was about “Quality driven acceptance tests using Capybara” and it was a bit of a shock because many .NET developers weren’t expecting Ruby as a tool and many got confused and thought I was using Ruby on Rails… but I guess that’s material for another post.

Overall I really enjoyed presenting and I hope  to do it again next time.

You can download the slides and source code from presentations. I just updated the README file with some troubleshooting.

If you have any issues running the code, or with the setup let me know.

Here is a brief description of my presentation:

SOLIDify Your Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Applications

Object-oriented programming makes it easier to manage complexity, but only if you do it right. The five SOLID principles of class design (one for each letter) help ensure that you’re writing applications that are flexible, comprehensible and maintainable, and we’ll explain and explore them in this session. We’ll start with a brittle ASP.NET MVC application that’s badly in need of refactoring and fix it by applying the SOLID principles. This session is a good follow-up for Introducing ASP.NET MVC, but it’s also good for developers of ASP.NET MVC looking to improve their code – or even if you’re not planning to use ASP.NET MVC. The SOLID principles apply to programming in any object-oriented language or framework.

December 15-16 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre
