Continuous Integration and Delivery Workshop - Hadi Hariri/Paul Stack - June 10th
Continuous Integration is fundamental to properly run an agile project. With an uprise in continuous delivery, it has become even more important. If run correctly, CI⁄CD can have a huge impact on your project, team and organization. But you probably already know this, right? You’ve heard it many times most likely. Well, this workshop isn’t about hearing it again. In this workshop we’re going to deal with the implementation details.
We’ll see how to set up projects, distinguish types of tests, deal with triggering and branching, configure dependencies to improve maintainbility, work with outputs, deal with failures, as well as manage and run deployment pipelines.
This will be a workshop about putting the concepts into practice and seeing where things work, where they don’t.

ReSharper Workshop - Hadi Hariri - June 11th
In this full day workshop, we're going to refresh your knowledge about mainstream ReSharper functionality, and learn about many of the overlooked features of ReSharper. Beyond the simple navigation, we'll learn how to effectively navigate legacy codebases using advanced navigation features, inspections, usage search, and value⁄call tracking. We'll learn about using some of the less known yet very useful automatic refactorings that ReSharper offers.
We'll dive deeply into code inspections and learn not only how to configure them but extend them using Structural Search and Replace. We'll create and extend all the different types of templates ReSharper offers, as well as learn how to do effective TDD⁄BDD. We'll also dig into the configuration features ReSharper offers and see how to effectively configure ReSharper for yourself, your team and your company. After getting a firm grip of everything ReSharper offers, we'll get into extending ReSharper.
After an overview of ReSharper's architecture, we'll see how we can extend it using ReSharper SDK, learning about the different types of extensibility points that ReSharper offers. And if all that isn't enough, we'll top it off with some of ReSharper's best kept secrets!
This is a hands–on keyboard workshop. Bring your machine. Do not bring a mouse!
Claims-based Identity & Access Control for .NET 4.5 Applications - Dominick Baier - June 10th - 11th
Every serious application needs identity & access control: from “classic” intranet applications integrated into a Windows domains, and “simple” internet facing web sites with authentication up to highly complex federated and single sign–on (cross–platform, cross–device, mobile) solutions for business and consumer oriented applications.
.NET 4.5 is a big release when it comes building the above mentioned applications.
The complete identity management, authentication and authorization system and APIs have been upgraded to meet the demands of modern application development. This was achieved by introducing the notion of claims–based identity into the core .NET Framework and providing a number of useful extra services on top of this technology to make implementing federation, single sign–on and identity delegation features much easier across all application development stacks (like ASP.NET and WCF).
This course introduces to the fundamental concepts of identity & access control in .NET 4.5 and covers the integration of these new technologies into the main application frameworks like ASP.NET, ASP.NET Web API and WCF.
You will learn about patterns like single sign–on, federation, home realm discovery and identity delegation and how to implement them with .NET. You will learn how to implement authentication and authorization in web applications, SOAP services and HTTP⁄REST based services. You will learn about the SAML and JWT token types and the WS–Federation, WS–Trust and OAuth2 protocols.
Finally we will have a look at new cloud–based innovative offerings that make identity and access control ready for the next generation of cross–platform and cross–device applications.
Day1: Introduction & Web Applications Day
– Introduction to Claims–based Identity & Access Control
– Web Applications & ASP.NET
– Advanced Patterns & Topics for Web Applications
– Single Sign–on ⁄ Sign–off, Federation, Home Realm Discovery…
Day 2: Web Services, Web APIs & the Cloud Day
– SOAP Services & WCF
– HTTP⁄Mobile Services & ASP.NET Web API
– Identity Management as a Service & the Cloud
– Windows Azure Active Directory & Azure Access Control
Behaviour-Driven Development - Liz Keogh - June 10th
BDD is a set of practices which help software development teams to have conversations about the behavior of their system and how it delivers value to the project stakeholders. BDD has changed from its early roots as a replacement to TDD and now works as a mini–methodology across the whole software lifecycle. Over the last few years the adoption of BDD has grown globally, with dozens of tools created, used by hundreds of projects around the world., In this tutorial we look at the original reasons behind the creation of BDD, bringing the focus back to the language and conversations which lie at its heart.
We look at how BDD’s patterns can be applied at multiple scales – from the initial project vision all the way to the code – to deliberately discover and address ignorance in every aspect of software development, producing reliable, maintainable software that matters.
Embracing Uncertainty - Liz Keogh - June 11th
Most software projects involve doing something new, which brings uncertainty. Our brains aren't generally comfortable with that, so we have to make conscious effort to stop pretending to be certain when we're not! In this workshop–filled tutorial we look at how common practices can help us experiment, letting us learn safely and address risks early. We also look at how they are frequently abused when discomfort around uncertainty arises, creating premature commitments or being used to support them.
Attendees will sharpen their development practices, explain their benefits and abuses in the language of risk and commitment, and learn and share techniques to help manage uncertainty and complexity within their projects.
JavaScript: Getting your feet wet - Venkat Subramaniam - June 10th
JavaScript is a powerful language with many capabilities. Yet, this is one of the most misused, feared, and often poorly utilized languages. In this hands–on workshop, we will demystify JavaScript. We will start with some of the fundamental dos and don'ts of this language, explore the dynamic capabilities of this language, and learn to make use of its powerful prototypal inheritance. Come prepared with your laptops to crank out some code and work along exercises.
JavaScript: Taking a Deep Dive - Venkat Subramaniam - June 11th
JavaScript is powerful, but it is important not to let that turn into a beast on our projects. In this workshop we will learn techniques to tame this language to get the most out of it. We will explore ways to modularize it, learn about asynchronous programming, look at how to perform automated unit testing, and observe code coverage. We will also take a look at CoffeeScript and how it removes some of the inherent complexities of JavaScript. Come prepared with your laptops to crank out some code and work along exercises.

Accelerated Agile: from months to minutes - Dan North - June 10th - 11th
Formula 1 drivers don’t just drive faster than you, they drive differently. Accelerated Agile practitioners use different rules, based on the core principles of agile but taken to another level, to deliver in hours and days what regular teams can only achieve in weeks or months.
Accelerated Agile is a course for experienced agile practitioners who are frustrated with the pseudo–science of agile planning and estimation, the social pressure to automate where it doesn’t add any value, the artificial commitment of sprints and the unwelcome surprises that still derail their projects. You will learn new techniques that both enhance and replace existing agile practices, some of which are counter–intuitive and many which are completely counter to current Agile doctrine. This is not a course for beginners. Using a mixture of discussion, instruction and exploration you will start to think differently about agile development, automation and team dynamics. By exploring several architecture and development strategies you will learn how you and your teams can produce and deploy software faster than they thought possible. You’ll never look at TDD the same way again, not to mention copying–and–pasting code.
What you will learn
– The three ages of a product lifecycle, and why understanding them helps you go faster
– How design and architecture are at the heart of faster delivery
– How to do just enough planning and estimation
– Why up–front thinking is valuable and how to keep it focused
– How to critically assess agile and non–agile practices
Syllabus
– Rethinking analysis
– Rethinking planning and estimation
– Techniques for faster development
– The Build and Deployment ecosystem
– The value of Operations
– Building effective teams
Praise for Accelerated Agile
“one of the best courses I have ever attended, if not the best!”
“really interesting with good discussions and lots of relevant information”
“[not using slides] made the course flow in a neat and agile way”
