Agile Development Sessions - Slides and Demos from TechEd

Update: here's a video that yosi made of my draft song before the preconference... Que sera sera...

Yesterday was a full day of pre-conference goodness.

I've had a blast doing 4 sessions dealing with Agile Development within a team system Environment.

As a special treat I've also brought in my Acoustic guitar which I had hooked up to an amp , and after each session, I sang a little "cover" song about the last session's topic.

So I have 4 songs: Agile Development, TDD, Continuous Integration and Scrum. I was really concentrated in the song, but I do remember a million flashes from cameras the moment I sat down with my guitar - it was fun! I felt like Madonna :)

Anyways - I promised and I'm keeping my promise from the sessions. Here are the materials from that preconference:

  • Slides for all four preconf sessions can be found here.
  • Demos for the Continuous Integration talk (including the registration tool for event notifications I demonstrated) can be found here.
  • TeamSub:  I made a separate download of TeamSub - A tool I created by extending an existing tool (I cannot remember the source of it, sorry!). It allows easily registering web services for event notifications without needing to use a command line.  (if you download the VSTS-Demos, it's already in there included)

 

If you attended my sessions - hope you had fun! If you have pictures of me playing, I'd love for you to email them to me to RoyOsherove At GMail.Com !

I'm doing a few more sessions (Agile development Intro and Continuous Integration with Team System) and I'm planning on having a little song at the end of both. This time the crowd will be bigger - but that's part of the fun :)

 

Update - wish I knew what this post is saying...

About agile development... Did you see the GenWise stand in the exhibation area? I was very pleased to see this approach, where you are able to generate a 3 tier solution and still have the ability to customize everything. They even showed me how to extend the IDE with custom template with there own template framework. In my opinion very interesting.

Hi Roy, I've translated the page using an online translator. It's written in Swedish. The translator did not translate perfect. But I was able to follow along. What is your preference on CI? I've implemented a MSBuild - CC.NET build solution just the other day. Teambuild is cool, but because their is no proper CI I've opted for the other solution. Here is the translated post: Pre-conference I went a full day on the theme “Agile Development with Team systems” that comprized four parts. On that the whole while may Roy Osherove a good grade of me. He is a good lecturer that copes with of that the enthusiasm era audience in four, consecutive 75-minuterspass. Wants to you to read more of Roy Osherove so refers I to his blog: www.iserializable.com Session1: Introduction to Agile Methodologies wild duck Concepts Roy began with speaking about the underlying thoughts behind corporal punishment rushing methods. The was, in all cases for me, old cabinet food but quite useful that few the repeated and also few a new slant on the matter. He continued with comparing traditional (ingenjörsmässiga) methods with corporal punishment to rush, adaptiva ditto. He drove also a fast review of a number different corporal punishment rushing methods and the most important differences between them. He spoke further about that the corporal punishment rushing manifesto and then about how one ascended for ascended could to go against a more agilt approaches. Meeting 2: Physical the drive Development With Team systems He continued his other lecture with speaking about unit physicals: * what the is; * what the is not; * how man types good respective. poor unit physicals; And at last might one see little code on the display… He showed comparisons average different framework agencies and products for unit testing in. Net-miljö: * Nunit * MbUnit * Team systems Unit Testing The differences, its strength and weakness. Meeting 3: Continuous integration In your third lecture, he went through how one putons an environment with Continuous integration mha Team Foundation server. And how one does if one does not have access to TFS, with MSBuild and/or CruiseControl.Net. Also here each the a lot of time on demos, in VS and with TFS. Meeting 4: Running Projects using Scrum an VSTS Today's last meeting acted most about Conchangos Scrum-plugin to VSTS and how man worked with the too few to its Scrum-process in VSTS. A lot of demos of the different stages in order to pursue work tea ahead, t.ex to create Product Backlog Items, Sprint Backlog Items mm. Spontaneous thought I that the seems that the functions easily and pain free and the will become kul to set the teeth in this on Monday when I come home. Cheers,

Hi Roy As Marius said, the page you are curious about is in Swedish. Being a native swede I must say the translation engine made a few strange translations :) The funniest is "old cabinet food" (gammal skåpmat), it's a swedish saying that I don't know the english variant of, if there is any. some words that didn't get translated ingenjörsmässiga - engineer like miljö - environment

Hi Roy. I am glad that your idea with a guitar succeded. Now Madonna has serious competition :-) You have to play these songs for us too. Have fun and good luck!

I saw you on the ARC207 and DEV243 You said that all the materials were on your blog, but...where are the songs ? I can hear only the first one...
