I attended CloudCamp last week in London. CloudCamp was a mini-conference for people interested in cloud computing, and turned out to be quite interesting. Continue Reading »

We are organising a gathering of Alt.Net enthusiasts on the 31st this month at Skills Matter offices. We’ll do seven talks in total with beer and pizza during the break, and then go out for beers and socialising. Here’s the programme for the talks:

NHibernate - Ian Cooper
PowerShell - Zi Makki
OpenRasta - Sebastian Lambla
Castle Windsor - Mike Hadlow
Rhino Mocks - Chris Roff
NServiceBus - David De Florinier
Subversion - Gojko Adzic

The event is free but the number of places is limited. Apparently about half of the places are already taken and Skills Matter have not yet started to advertise it seriously, so if you were planning to come to the event make sure to register soon. For more info and to register click here.

See you on 31st.

Alt.NET UK Conference will be organised again in September. The current plan is to hold the event planning session on the 12th and then have an Open Sessions day on the 13th. The event will take place at Conway Hall. For more information, monitor the Alt.NET UK newsriver.

Fixture Gallery 2.1 is immediately available for download from SourceForge. Fixture Gallery is a cookbook for FIT/FitNesse tests. It provides developers with a quick overview of the most important fixture types and concepts for agile acceptance testing using the FIT framework. For each fixture type, this document explains the table format and fixture class structure and provides advice when to use and when not to use it. Each example is accompanied by the source code for Java, .NET, Python and Smalltalk FIT implementations, in a form that can be easily copied and used as a template for similar fixtures.

Version 2.1 brings Smalltalk examples for all fixtures in the document. I’d like to thank Randy Coulman for providing these examples.

I’m doing a talk on effective test driven database development this Thursday in London (near Farringdon station, stating at 18:30). I’ll talk about unit testing stored procedures, test data management and best practices for java/.net integration testing that involves a database. In the talk I’ll also give a technical demo of my DbFit database unit testing library that provides DB management/unit testing capabilities to FIT/FitNesse.

The event will be organised by Skills Matter, and it is free but registration is required. For more info, see:

See you on Thursday!
