• Roughing it: IoC, AoP and Mocking without frameworks with Ashic Mahtab

  Wed, 2 May 2012, 17:30 - 19:30 in London, United Kingdom

  In this session, Ashic takes us back to basics. He will talk about howyou don't need to depend on frameworks to help you write good,testable SOLID code. There are some magicalframeworks out there which do some wonderful things, but if you cansurvive by yourself in the wilderness of your own code you will be abetter developer for it. A lot of the value that these frameworksprovide can be achieved through classic object oriented practices inand a dash of functional programming.

• Code Contracts in .NET with Chris Marsh

  Wed, 7 Sep 2011, 17:30 - 19:30 in Poplar, United Kingdom

  Code Contracts in .NETTaking a Design by Contract (DbC) approach can help developers produce more maintainable code, by formalising the interface specification between software components. This is not a new concept, but until recently there has been no first class class support in .NET for developers wishing to take this approach. In this session we will take a look at what DbC is, and how we may have have used it in .NET development in the past.

  Wed, 2 Mar 2011, 18:30 - 20:30 in Poplar, United Kingdom

  How often do you get to work on completely isolated systems? It is seemingly more and more common that your system needs to talk to another system to function, whether that be a legacy system, an external API or even one that has not been developed yet. Every system that you talk to adds risk to your project; technical risk, quality risk and delivery risk. But never fear - help is at hand.
