DAY 4 AGENDA: MAIN CONFERENCE STREAMED SESSIONS

Which isolation framework

should you choose?

What is the difference

between constrained and

unconstrained frameworks?

Why do some frameworks

support more features than

others? How does that affect

design, if at all? What are

the values of a good isolation

framework? In this session,

Osherove will explore these

questions and more.

Code and design reviews can

be an effective and powerful

tool for maintaining software

quality and spreading

knowledge. Done poorly,

however, they can slow

down development, alienate

developers and lower morale.

In this session, Bingham will

look at how to build a “culture

of review”, where reviews –

even critical ones – are seen as

positive; where they improve

quality; and where they’re

an integral part of the goal of

building an effective software

team. He’ll look at what we

know (and don’t know!) about

reviews, and he’ll examine the

various beneficial ways to use

reviews in your work.

SharePoint developer or not,

apps allow you to author

functionality for SharePoint,

without having to deal with

SharePoint. In this session,

Malik will give you a real-

world overview of how to write

apps for SharePoint: what not

to do, and what is just not going

to work out of the box, but

you’ll probably have to do.

As with any framework, there

are those who know how to use

ASP.NET Web API, and there

are those who know how to use

ASP.NET Web API. Want to

be the second type of person?

In this session, Flatow will

skip the basic introduction

to ASP.NET Web API and

move on to the interesting

stuff: pipeline architecture,

extensibility, asynchronous

actions, security and

implementing HTTP

concepts such as streaming

and caching.

TDD has long been promoted

by agile practitioners, but

the community still argues

about how to go about it.

Inside-out or outside-in?

Mockist or classical? Through

a component’s public API

or for every class? And then

there’s Kent Beck’s famous

quote: “I get paid for code that

works, not for tests, so my

philosophy is to test as little

as possible to reach a given

level of confidence.” This

introduces a further level of

subjectivity, especially since

developers are frequently

overconfident. In this session,

Rose will explore the choices

that agile teams need to make

when considering which

development practices to

adopt. He’ll look at some of the

different approaches and urge

teams to practice until you’re

happy with the way you code.

OOP means well, but often

falls short when it comes

to delivering changeability.

The larger OO software

gets, the more it becomes

a monolith – that’s the

experience of many teams,

despite SOLID investments

in good design. How come?

Maybe it ́s because one of

the fundamentals principles

of OO is not adhered to:

today ́s objects just don ́t

communicate by messaging.

Fortunately, that can change

quite simply. Messaging is not

so much a matter of syntax,

than a matter of thinking.

In this session, Westphal will

present a simple definition

of messaging, plus two rules

of how to organise your code

for more changeability. It ́s

simple, and it ́s even more

OO than before.

Cloud computing is here to

stay, and one of the important

things to understand is how

to choose your cloud vendor,

independently of the “flavour”

of the cloud they are providing,

be it SaaS, PaaS or IaaS, public,

private, hybrid or community.

All of this is important, but

it’s also important to know

what to ask them, and what

responses to expect. In this

session, Godinho will share

his experiences of choosing

a cloud vendor and present

a complete set of questions

everyone should ask before

they commit.

Legacy code presents a

problem for introducing unit

tests: you general can’t test

without changing the code

but if you change the code you

have no tests to verify it still

works. In this session, Blewett

will demonstrate techniques

for introducing tests into your

legacy code base using coding

patterns and tools such as

Microsoft Fakes shim support.

HTML5 is the web standard

that is being shaped and

developed currently. It

extends and improves the

previous HTML4 standard

and takes it to the next level

with support for multimedia,

communication, semantics

and more. In this session,

Fink will take a close look at

the new storage options that

HTML5 brings and how to

use them. He will build a

grocery-store-list app that

will use in-memory storage,

and then refactor it to use

web storage. He will then add

AppCache to take the app

offline. Finally, he will replace

the storage mechanism to

use IndexedDB instead of

web storage.

Learn about security

trimming in SharePoint 2013

search and how claims-based

authentication is securing

your content. In this session,

Malik will describe and

demonstrate how security

trimming works end to end,

from content processing to

search front end. This session

is quite hands-on and will also

demonstrate how custom

security trimmers can be

used. You need to know basic

SharePoint to attend.
