Event-Driven Architecture Presentation completed -- first round!

Провел презентацию Event-Driven Architecture, ушло 2 часа.

Подготовка заняла 16 часов.

Много примеров из жизни, но все же несколько сумбурно. Думаю, в следующий раз необходимо теоретические основы и примеры из жизни сократить до 40-30 минут, а вот практики -- побольше!

Обнаружилось, что присутствующим собственно эта практика в наибольшей степени интересна.

А вот послезавтра, 23 ноября, буду проводить новую презентацию, по UML - Introduction

Придется поработать над практическими примерами! :)

Надеюсь, все успею сделать как надо.

Another TDD session is coming soon

Another TDD session is coming soon.

I prefer to gather not more than 10-15 listeners at the same time which gives me much more responsive auditory.

Feel exciting about it.

Let's bring some brightness to the world!

First ever BDD presentation in progress

Yesterday I provided the first part of BDD presentation.

It goes quite smoothly -- most of the people were quite responsive.

I represented BDD this way:

• revise SCRUM workflow and point out TDD place in it
• outline TDD "built-in" drawbacks (like Unit Tests != specification)
• introduce the idea that we can actually use specification as a base for our unit tests
• Reconsider testing as a whole -- we should test feature rather than a particle unit of code
• Point out that BDD specifications can be used for communication around all people involved into development process
• Implement a simple system (POS) as an example in BDD way (using SpecFlow .Net framework)

Yesterday I stopped on the last point -- it seems that 2 hours is engogh to provide BDD ideas, but not enough to show it in action.

Today will finish it.

BDD with SpecFlow Presentation

Tomorrow and a day after tomorrow I will be providing BDD Presentation.

Doing it at first time (not counting that small session done by my while I was working for Target Process), feel a bit nervous -- more than 20 people, current EPAM employees, will be here.

Good luck to me! :)

BDD Training Session

in two days I am supposed to lead the BDD training for EPAM employees.

There are about 70 people who already subscribed to it, so about 20 developers were chosen to participate in this session.

Need to spend a few hours on preparations :)

Consultant Career

From time to time I am thinking of Freelance Consultant career. May be in a few years I will be ready for it, but not now.

I am still not sure whether I am skillful enough to provide such trainings.

Would be nice to have a look at active consultants's blogs to see how they handle this job.
