Start Time: 8:30 AM
Reserve your seat.
This is a one-day, FREE event designed to improve your software
development skills. Rather than focusing on introductions to
new technologies or tools, this conference will help you get better
at your craft. The morning sessions will focus on fundamental
principles, patterns, and practices of software development, and
the afternoon will be spent on practical exercises that put these
fundamentals into action. While the sessions will mostly make
use of .NET and Visual Studio, these topics apply to any language
or platform.
Agenda - Friday, 16 July 2010 (subject to
change)

If possible, bring your own laptop for use in the afternoon's
session, with your choice of development and testing tools
installed. We will have prepared material for Visual Studio
2008/2010 and C#, but other environments are welcome. If
cannot bring a laptop, don't worry - we'll be spending the
afternoon pairing together so as long as half the attendees have
laptops, it will be fine.
This event is being modelled after recent successful events in
Columbus and
Nashville, and is being organized by NimblePros and HudsonSC.
This event also serves as a great kick-off for the Cleveland Give Camp,
which takes place the weekend of 16-18 July and begins at 5pm.
Update: The Software
Engineering 101 slides and demos from the event are now
available for download.
Steve Smith did two videos of the greed kata: one in which Steve
performs the Greed Kata without
using TDD and one in which Steve solves the Greed Kata using TDD.
