Test Driven Development webcast today with Ron Jeffries

The 400 level designation is defined by Microsoft as advanced/expert level content (see content level definitions). This should be a good one!

Time: 9:00AM-10:30AM Pacific Time (GMT-7, US & Canada)

Description:  Microsoft® Press author Ron Jeffries, author of the recently released Extreme Programming Adventures in C# will discuss the application of Extreme Programming design and development techniques using Visual C#® and and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Topics include "Spikes", unit-testing, and your questions regarding the fundamental techniques of simple design, test-driven development, and refactoring to create practical, .NET-ready applications.One registered webcast attendee will be randomly selected to win a free autographed copy of Ron Jeffries’ new book, one title in the new Microsoft Professional Series of books. The Microsoft Professional Series titles are focused on agile programming methods and underlying architectural design concepts and patterns, representing the cutting edge of new or changing technologies.

I'm surpissed Ron does not have to use the debugger a lot when running the testcases.

I actually love the UnitTest and the Studio debugger integration, just to run quickly one testmethod, or all testmethods in a class, or all testmethods in an assembly

Use this great addin::

l.a.marco - yes, the NUnitAddin is quite awesome. Jamie Cansdale is the man.

Couldn't find this Event, only this: https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032252942

By the way I would like to recommend the NUnitForms addin as well as worthy of consideration.

Mike - after the event is over you'll get that message. I will update it with the "OnDemand" webcast link after Microsoft posts it.

BTW, I have listed NUnitForms on my .NET Test Driven Development page, which you can see here: http://dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/darrell.norton/posts/3374.aspx
