I just wrapped up my session on Test-Driven Development with ASP.NET MVC. The audience was a bit thin, but the people who were there seemed genuinely interested in both ASP.NET MVC and Test Driven Development.
I had a little hiccup during the demo, so I had to comment out my Windsor code & just revert to poor man’s dependency injection! What’s weird is that this worked 20 minutes before the demo, but whatever.
Another thing to note is that I’m now a BDD convert, so my tests changed a bit from the material that was delivered on DVD over a month ago. The example I did today, with BDD style tests & some ShouldBe extension methods is available here:
I also ended up winning a little bit of money yesterday, which was awesome! While playing nickel slots and talking on the phone to my wife, I accidentally pressed the cash out button when I only had $0.10 left :) Here’s a stellar picture showing my excitement:
Tulsa TechFest
Also, last week I gave two presentations in Tulsa:
- Become a .NET Jedi with ReSharper
- Build a blog with ASP.NET MVC
The audiences for both talks were very engaged, and I think they both went really well. I did leave Tulsa wondering, however, what’s with all the VB developers! (I kid, I kid!)
The material for the blog example is available here:

If you want to browse the source for either of these talks, check out my google code repository (they’ll be posted soon).
Thanks to those who attended my talks & game me valuable feedback. I’m always looking to improve my presentation skills.
What’s next for me? I’ll be speaking at the Innotech in Oklahoma City on November 6th, on the same subject.
