Oredev 2007 - Coaching software development teams - Michael Feathers

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:18:06 GMT

Oredev 2007 - Coaching Software Development Teams - Michael Feathers, Object Mentor. When we first get into software development, we concentrate on technical skill. We learn how to program, how to debug, and how to design effectively. If we are lucky, we work in an environment where most of that work isn't wasted effort. Most of us gradually realize that we are sensitively dependent on our team. The way that we interact with our coworkers, and they interact with each other, can make work productive and fun, or wasteful and hellish. In this tutorial, I'll outline techniques you can use to help software development teams overcome obstacles, gain confidence, and work well with their surrounding organization. You'll learn when to use them, and more importantly, when not to as you work with your coworkers to make your team more fun, effective, and humane.

Oredev 2007 - What to test and when - Udi Dahan Now that unit testing and test-driven development have hit the mainstream, more and more companies are beginning to embrace these agile practices. What isn't always clear is which practice is most useful in which scenario, and how alternatives like state-based testing and non-automated human-tester activities can be used most cost-effectively. Join Udi for a swoop through the development lifecycle and find out which questions you should be asking and when.

Oredev 2007 - NEO - Emil Eifrém, Björn Granvik

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:05:00 GMT

Oredev 2007 - Emil Eifrém, NEO Persistence and Björn Granvik, Jayway Neo is a so-called "netbase" -- an embedded, network-oriented database for nested and semi-structured information. Maybe that was a bit obfuscated? Let's try again. Neo handles data in a network - nodes, relationships and properties - instead of tables. This means completely new solutions for data that sometimes is tricky to handle in static tables. It also means that developers who like agile methods finally have a persistence engine that works with them instead of against them! This seminar introduces the "netbase" concept and where to put it to use. We will show you how using networks, rather than tables, as a data model solves difficult problems. And, moreover, how substantially this improves your everyday persistence programming. This will all be done using straightforward code examples. Having attended this session, we guarantee that you will not view persistence in the same way anymore...

Oredev 2007 - Democratizing the cloud - Erik Meijer

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:48:04 GMT

Oredev 2007 - Democratizing the cloud - Erik Meijer, Microsoft The web is rocking the world of developers. Our customers love consistency. They want to have the same rich experience, anywhere, any time, on any device. Our sales people love market share. They want no platform that cannot leverage their web services. We ourselves have embraced agile methods. We want to keep our options open as long as possible and create software incrementally by successive refactorings or declarative annotations. This surely sounds like a contradiction, another impossible triangle. The Dutch artist MC Escher once said "Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible", which inspired us to try to stretch the .NET framework to cover the Cloud. The ultimate goal is to make it possible for normal programmers to incrementally and seamlessly design, develop, and debug complex distributed applications using their favorite existing and unmodified .NET compiler and deploy these applications anywhere.
