Northern Virginia SQL Server Users Group
Presented by Jonathan Cogley
Pair Programming
Imagine working the code while constantly rethinking the grand scheme of the design in your head. Imagine catching your typos first time, every time. Imagine finding bugs twice as fast and having a good conversation about how to approach finding them. Imagine learning new techniques, ideas and strategies while working on your code everyday. If you already achieve all of these things on your own then skip the usergroup and go straight to a psychologist! If not, then come along to learn why Pair Programming is fun, productive and a tremendous improvement to the otherwise black art of lone gun programming.

Test Driven Development with NUnitAsp
TDD is hard. TDD with user interfaces can be even harder. Learn from the tried and tested techniques of Thycotic how best to test drive your ASP.NET applications. This session will also include a brief look at Visual Studio Team System (which releases the same week) and how these techniques map to the new development environment. Also learn how to use our free API (Thycotic.TddStarterKit) to get started with TDD or accellerate existing TDD projects with new database initialization tools, tricks for NUnitAsp and local extensions for NUnit and NUnitAsp to lower the barrier of entry to TDD.

Test Driven Development
Learn the basics of Test Driven Development (TDD), how it is more than just unit testing and how you can apply it to your daily work. This session will completely change the way you write code! Brace yourself for a hands-on coding session involving the development of a simple application using TDD techniques every step of the way. TDD can bring new levels of quality and productivity to your personal development style and will work wonders on a team of developers! We will then recap on the theory, assess our hands-on performance using a coverage analysis tool and sum up with open Q&A for the tough questions.
