So you use TFS and want to learn about why DVCS are great, and how they apply to you? Maybe you just want to learn more about DVCS and Git. Perhaps you would prefer to use a DVCS, however other factors prevent this? Never fear, Git-TFS is here. In this session I will take you through how you can use Git-TFS to leverage the power of a DVCS, whilst still using TFS. We will cover what a DVCS is, why they are great, Git, setting up and using Git-TFS, lessons learnt and a developer workflow that will ensure you hit the ground running.

Using BDD testing techniques a projects test gan be understood by the whole team. This session will look at keeping you requirements coupled to the code giving you the tracibility you need. Topics included in this practical session will be *. The importance of BDD to the entire team * Intellectual Property * .Net and SpecFlow * Tracibility

Behaviour Driven Development even a Product Owner will like

In the last year's DDD Melbourne event I presented the async CTP that was released by Microsoft as an unsupported update. Now that Visual Studio 11 and C# 5 is nearing release it is time to revisit the async support which is a major new feature. Come along to see a Windows 8 metro app that uses the new async features to build a responsive app. Learn how the Task based Async Pattern is permeating in the .Net framework and how you can take advantage of this.

In this session Rob will talk about how Microsoft .Net and Amazon Web Services (AWS) work together in the cloud. In particular he will be focussing on how an existing .Net developer can get started on AWS with just a few steps and a handful of insights. During the session Rob will actually demonstrate live the entire process from end to end of creating a .Net application and deploying it to the cloud on AWS.

The web is developing at an eye watering pace with the seemingly daily introduction of new features and APIs - and that's not even counting vendor specific enhancements. In this session we will explore the features you want to use now and also look into some of the lesser known APIs that really don’t get the attention they deserve. We will also be delving into some of the animation and layout features in CSS3 and exploring when to use them. Finally, let's wrap it all up with some tips on how you can implement these new features whilst ensuring that your site works in some of the more archaic browsers such as earlier versions of the big bad e.

Windows 8 and the "Metro fast and fluid" apps are the new kids on the block, many people have cried about the Javascript/HTML5 application development or what "Metro" means but let's face it, we are .Net developers, we still want our .Net libraries, we want our beloved C# (or even VB), what Metro means for us? what should I know about Metro and .Net? Should I start looking for a new job? I will try to explain and answer those questions from the point of view of a .Net lover for .Net developers.

Windows 8 Metro App Development from a .Net Developer's view

If you have to sell your ideas or convince others of a solution, but don't know how, this discussion could help turn the tables in your favour. DotNetNuke 6.2.0 has been released this month and it's capabilities extend to mobile and social networking integration. This is a unique element that DotNetNuke offers developers who wish to extend the framework further, but this presentation gives a talk between the web design/developer, the customer and the person doing the coding.

With the rise of tablet devices and ultra-portable laptops the mobile office is more available than ever before, but there's still one catch, you have to install software. Over the course of this talk we'll explore a crazy idea, the idea that all you need is a browser to perform all our standard development tasks, from writing code to source control, from continuous integration to deployment and work out if there really is the possibility that all you'll need is a browser.

The Windows 8 platform will soon allow people to build "Metro style applications" and sell them on the Windows Marketplace. Join David Burela as he takes anyone who is new to Desktop development through the basics of developing for Windows 8. XAML, Databinding, DataTemplates and ViewModels will all be introduced. Discover how to separate your UI from your business logic, how to create List Views that display your data richly, plus much more. The techniques here can be applied to any XAML based application: WinRT, WP7, WPF, SL5.

In this session, I'll show you how to quickly get up and running with RavenDB. I'll cover the boring basics, such as loading, saving, deleting and querying for documents. Then we'll get to some more exciting stuff like map reduce indexes and bulk updates. This session is aimed at beginners to RavenDB. If you've never seen RavenDB before, you will quiver with excitement. If you've been using it for some time, you may struggle to stay awake :-)

Introduction to RavenDB

With the release of Asp.net MVC4 a new component was released, Asp.net Web API. Web API lets you build HTTP API's in a really simple and powerful way. Rest is a buzzword and the majority of ‘RESTful’ API’s out there are not actually RESTful. In this talk Jake will be showing you what REST is, why it is different to simply a HTTP API, and how we can build a RESTful service using Asp.net Web API. In the world of highly connected Windows 8 Metro and Windows Phone apps REST and Web API's are becoming the main way sites and services are exposing data, make sure you know how to do it properly!

In this session, we will look at the use of third party JavaScript toolkits/engines/helpers in HTML5/JS Metro-style applications on Windows 8. As these apps run in the WWAHost.exe environment, and are packaged & run as apps -- how do web-centric frameworks/toolkits adapt? What works, what doesn't work? What should you look out for? Is JavaScript really a portable language? These questions are more are answered in this session

Event Sourcing, CQRS and DDD are a lot of buzzwords to swallow at once. Jim will explain to you how CQRS and Event Sourcing solutions are structured and explain what advantages & disadvantages they offer. Along the way several DDD concepts will be incorporated and you will gain an understanding how these architectural patterns are complemented by the principles in DDD.

So what’s with JavaScript? It’s been evolving over time with the rest of the web, but now we find ourselves using it in many offline situations as well. In this session we will explore some of these prospects, where you may find JS to be a useful companion. We’ll also discuss some patterns, tools and techniques we can use to enhance our JS development experience. The areas we will cover are building Offline Web Applications, PhoneGap, Node JS and of course JavaScript Windows 8 Metro style apps. Now, get ready for a journey to the other side.

Going Offline with JS

It is very useful for every developer to know how operating systems work. At the same time every developer working in the cloud would be more efficient when he knows how data centers work. On a surface Windows Azure seems like a very complicated beast. However, most of its behaviors make sense once you are familiar with the internal components. In this talk the following areas of Windows Azure will be presented: Fabric Controller - the brain of the data center, how virtualization works utilizing Hipervisor, what happens during deployment, etc
