Each day will consist of an explanation of the subjects, practical examples illustrating the concepts and hands on time to implement a series of exercises using the topics presented during the day.

Any questions please contact me!

You can read about it at http://www.prairiedevcon.com/. It would be two complete days of sessions with four tracks and many cool speakers!!!!

I will do two presentations:

Real World Behaviour Driven Development

Behaviour Driven Development drives you process towards keeping the focus on the stakeholder’s goals while discovering new features to achieve those goals.
But… what does it mean in a .NET project to use BDD? What do I have to change? What tools are available? Can I use it for project with actual deadlines? How the quality will be improved?
We are going to see a real world example from start to finish using BDD and TDD while answering all those questions. After the session you will have the foundation to apply BDD with confidence on any .NET project.
Track: Developer Foundation
Style: Dojo (Bring your laptop and code with me!)

Test Driven Development Patterns for .NET Developers

Test Driven Development is a methodology that will help us to discover our model while improving the quality of our software.
We are going to see different patterns to help us deal with day to day problems like constructor initialization, exception testing, combinatorial tests, database testing, and many others.
Track: Developer Foundation
Style: Lecture

Hope to see you there!!!

Presentation Automocking PPT

Source Code AutoMocking Src

Enjoy!

This time we will talk about using StructureMap  to generate our dependencies for our System Under Test (SUT).

We will go over writing base specification for testing and how to generate dependencies and use them to stub or setup expectations.

See u soon!

We started around 8 AM with breakfast and at 9 started the presentations.

I did mine around 10:30, I think it was pretty good (no one faint, or run from the room screaming).

The audience was great, made great questions and laughed (utter kindness) at my bad jokes.

I want to thank everyone that was there, and D’arcy for inviting me.

Here is the presentation PDF presentation, the source code Demo Code (start) and the source code complete with all the tests Demo Code with all the tests.

The video is still to come !

Comments are welcome!

I’m going to talk about mocking using Rhino Mocks.

Here is the presentation: PDF presentation download.

I’ll try to make a video later this week.

See you there!
