I’m teaching the next Agile Boot Camp on October 1, 2, and 3 in Austin, TX. Register now to attend.
This advanced agile curriculum will cover everything involved in developing software in .NET, from setting up a new project and defining the architecture to implementing functionality in a loosely-coupled and testable manner. We will immerse ourselves in domain-driven design, test-driven development, design patterns, object-relational mapping, inversion of control (IoC), pair programming, automated builds, and continuous integration (CI). Students will discover which practices cause projects to fail and which practices help projects succeed. The course will include a strong focus on solid principles and values that can be applied to any .NET project. With a solid understanding of Agile values and object-oriented programming, students will emerge from the training with a refocused view on software development and the tools to immediately bring value back to their companies. All developers will take back working code developed during the course using the techniques and practices taught.
This course moves very quickly and is not for the faint of heart. Below are some of the topics that are covered:
• Domain Driven-Design
• Test-Driven Development
• Onion architecture
• Inversion of Control
• Resharper
• Source control with Subversion
• Pair programming
• Refactoring
• Build automation with NAnt and CCNet
• Object-relational mapping with NHibernate
• Automated unit and Integration testing
• Interfaced-based programming
• Team dynamics
• Redgate SQL Compare
• SQL Profiler
• Rhino Mocks
• Separation of Concerns
• Design patterns
See what others have said about the course:
“Man! we actually covered a lot! Jeffrey did a great job of making it seem like not much, but when I got back and started telling my boss about it, there were just TONS of things to talk about. We talked about Team Estimation and Design, NHibernate Mappings, Test-Driven Development, Domain Driven Design, Automated Builds and on and on and on. I have absolutely no idea how we managed to cram all that stuff in three days, but we did.”
Karthik Hariharan (Telligent):
“While a lot of software development training is often presented very academically, Headspring’s was very hands-on and really pushed everyone to pick up the processes and tools very quickly, just as you would in the real world.”
“This was an excellent training event, and I plan to
stealbe inspired to use some of his methodologies at Interface Technical Training.”

“This was the best technical training course I’ve been to, period. No fluff here. The course was packed with information and best practices that I could start implementing immediately when I got back to work on Monday.”
Ken Jackson
“Jeff is an excellent teacher and practitioner of Agile principles and methods. His integration of open source tools to boost productivity will surely help me be more successful and confident in my daily working regimen.”
