Agile Software Development in VS2010: Test-Driven Development

Do you want to learn how to radically improve the quality of your C# code? Do you want to learn how to use the test-driven development features in Visual Studio 2010? Do you want to learn how to use TDD to support rapid refactoring? Then "Agile Software Development in VS2010: Test-Driven Development" is for you! Join us for an information packed day during which we will explore many of the testing features in VS2010. We will explore high-level concepts and then walk through detailed examples and demonstrations in VS2010. You will write real code and create real tests during this course! You will leave this course with a good understanding of how to use the testing features in VS2010 to accelerate your development and improve the quality of your code. How much does the course cost? It costs whatever you want it to cost. This is a Pay-What-You-Can course. You pay what you can to attend the course. At the end of the course the instructor will hand out an envelope to every participant and the participant will pay what they can. The requested contribution is $200-$0 (please pay at mid range or higher if possible).
To keep costs down, Pay-What-You-Can courses are held at low cost or no cost locations. For this course, Microsoft is generously donating a room at the Microsoft Technology Center in Waltham. To keep costs low, participants are asked to bring a laptop with a copy of VS2010 installed.
