This 3-day crash course gives an overview of the progresive .NET practices, ideas and tools that help us deliver software better and faster. Students will get hands-on experience and a solid introduction to test driven development, agile acceptance testing, continuous integration, dependency injection, object-relational mapping, aspect oriented programming, agile web development and asynchronous systems using leading open-source .NET tools. We build a practical application from scratch in this course, demonstrating how all these techniques and tools work in practice. LEARN HOW TO: Implement TDD in .NET using MBUnit, Rhino Mocks and FitNesse
Utilise Aspect oriented programming and Dependency Injection using Castle Windsor
Manage relational persistence easily using Object-Relational Mapping tools such as ActiveRecord and NHibernate
Efficiently build Web applications using the MVC pattern in Monorail and test them using Selenium

The next version of HTML will introduce dozens of new tags, new APIs and new techniques that will allow web developers to focus on content and structure when building their applications. In this talk, I'll look at some of the new features that HTML 5 offers. I'll show you how you can start using many of these features today, and examine some of the techniques you can use to support these new features in down-level browsers. Finally, I'll look at some of the new capabilities that are coming in the next version of Microsoft's ASP.NET MVC framework, and how you can combine these with HTML 5's extensive support for forms and interactive web applications to streamline your apps and still deliver a great user experience .

Morning All, We've been fortunate enough to secure a second presenter for April following on from the great success of Mike's presentation last week. Thanks Mike! On the 17th of April, we have Bryan Crotaz from the Inspired Signage Group (www.inspiredsignage.com). Bryan will be presenting on Model Driven Architecture with Eco IV. We look forward to seeing you there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This group is all about sharing with, and learning from, our peers in the industry. If you've done something cool you want to show off, found an arcane corner of the framework worthy of sharing, or are confused by the newest round of Microsoft-ese, this group is the place to be. At the last Meetup we had some very engaging free-form conversations about various members' commercial work in WPF and showed off demos of the cool things a few of us have built (and actually brought into production) in WPF. For this meetup, we agreed to keep it free-form again, and talk more deeply about the specific war stories and performance challenges that went into the building of the WPF demos we all showed of, discuss the learning curve for WPF and how to ease it, and also start delving into LINQ.

This course teaches the basic Test Driven Development practices including unit testing, refactoring and acceptance testing. By applying these practices, you will be able to build quality into software from the start, design and develop systems fit for purpose and write code that is easy to maintain and evolve in the future. The is a completely hands-on course with practical workshops straight from the start, interrupted by very short presentations to explain the practices and put things into a wider perspective. It is based on the latest tools and current knowledge and ideas from the community, so you'll be practicing the state of the art. LEARN HOW TO: * Design and develop software driven by tests
* Protect software from unwanted changes using regression tests
* Evolve software design with refactoring and TDD
* Recognise smells in the code and clean them up
* Capture requirements and specifications as acceptance tests
* Use executable specifications to drive development
* Continuously integrate software to get quick feedback about changes
* Apply best practices and avoid pitfalls of unit and acceptance testing
* Use MBUnit, Gallio, Rhino Mocks and FIT.NET NEXT SESSION
The next course will be delivered at Skills Matter - London, on 10 - 11 Sep 2009 by Gojko Adzic. Gojko is also the author of this course. REGISTRATION
Places on the course cost £1095 per person and you can find the full course description and registration pages here:

Designing large-scale distributed systems is hard. New technologies make it easier to comply with today’s communications and security standards, but don’t auto-magically give you a robust and scalable system. Join Udi for a course packed with the wisdom of companies like SUN, Amazon and EBay. Tried-and-true theories and fallacies will be shown, keeping you from making those same costly mistakes today. Communications patterns like publish/subscribe and correlated one-way request/response will be used in conjunction with advanced object-oriented state management practices for long-running workflows. If you enjoy deep architectural discussion, if you are in charge of building a large-scale distributed system, if you want to know more about how the big guys run their systems, this is for you. LEARN HOW TO: * Avoid common pitfalls in distributed systems
* Use loosely coupled messaging communication
* Identify and allocated business logic to services
* Decompose services into layers, tiers, assemblies, and processes
* Design for service management and monitoring in production environments NEXT SESSION
The next course will be delivered at Skills Matter - London, on 07 Sep 2009 by Udi Dahan, project lead of the NServiceBus project and well known .NET expert. Udi is also the author of this course. HALF PRICE OFFER
The normal course fees for this 5-day course is £2500 but we have a 1ST TEACH offer going that will entitle you to get the course for half price! If you book on or before August 7th, the cost for this course is just £1250! REGISTRATION

Space Based Programming
Space-based architectures are an alternative to the traditional n-tier model for enterprise applications. Instead of a vertical tier partitioning, space based applications are partitioned horizontally into self-sufficient units. This leads to almost linear scalability of stateful, high-performance applications. Speaker
Gojko Adzic will demonstrate how to implement space based applications on the .NET platform. EVENT DETAILS

Where: Skills Matter, London
When: 02 Sep 2009 Starts at 18:30 REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT
Attendance is free for registered attendees only. Please register here if you would like to come:
