Date / Time:

Topic:

TDD, DI, and SoC with ASP.NET MVC

Description:

Spelled out, it is test-driven development, dependency injection, and separation of concerns with Active Server Pages .Net Model View Controller. This talk will dive into how to design a presentation layer using ASP.NET MVC.

In today’s industry, TDD, DI, and SoC are proven concepts that lead to more maintainable applications. Along with demonstrating how to use these techniques with ASP.NET MVC, we will discuss just what concerns should be separated. This talk provides a unique perspective on separation of concerns and uses TDD and DI to make it happen. MvcContrib is used in all the demos.

Just a quick note for folks interested in some of the positions with Headspring Systems.  I’m very picky about those I hire, and those who have the best luck with the interview process are those who already:

• Read my blog
• Are involved in some of the same open source projects I am
• Attend the same conferences I do
• Attend the Austin .Net User Group or Agile Austin
• Have introduced themselves to me in person
• Practice Extreme Programming
• Read books like Evans, Feathers, Fowler, Martin, Beck, etc.
• Contact me directly instead of going through recruiters.

I love recruiters, and I give them leads whenever I can, but the type of employees I hire for Headspring are typically not what recruiters have to offer. 

If you are interested in a job, the bullet list is a great place to start.  For those not in the Austin area, it’s worth noting that we focus on Austin only at the moment and work in person within the company as well as within clients.  No remoting here.

With the imminent release of ASP.NET MVC, the industry is buzzing about this new way to write ASP.NET applications (not really new – i.e. MonoRail).  Lots of folks are already intending to adopt this library when it is released, so Headspring Systems is sponsoring a free afternoon of ASP.NET MVC framework training at the Microsoft office in Austin, TX.   Make sure to register for this event because there is a limited number of chairs.
