NET Conference is over, and Im exhausted. Ive never been to a conference that consistently challenged my assumptions about software development. The amount of dialogue and debate that occurred was quite staggering, considering that most involved were birds of a feather, and the possibility of echo chamber issues would seem to be fairly high. Open Space Format Day 1. The conference was run in an Open Space format, which Ive never been involved with before. No agenda was set before the first day, and no one was obligated to stay for an entire discussion. The conference started with a few ground rules and an explanation into Open Spaces, along with a short roundtable about the direction and purpose of the ALT. NET conference. Between five and seven chairs were placed in the middle of the room. If you wanted to address the audience, you got up, sat in the chair, and said your piece. If you sat in the last available chair, someone else in the panel sat down. One chair was always available for someone to claim, and no one could talk in the audience. This provided a great continuous discussion for which anyone in the room could participate. Great questions and discussions centered around What is ALT. Jun. 2012 The Reactive Extensions Rx.

After this initial dialog, we proceeded to create the agenda. Those who wanted to talk about something wrote it down on one of the many post it note pads scattered around the room, walking to the center of the room, and telling everyone what they wanted to convene about. Then they would put their post it on an open space in the schedule at the front of the room. A long line formed for those proposing discussions next, and each put their post its in an open slot in the schedule. When the spaces were filled, these post its were put below where they could be sorted later. After all those that wanted to convene a discussion were through, all audience members were invited up to the schedule to initial post it notes they found interesting. There around 6 or so rooms to convene discussions during each session, and all were filled by the end of the night. Quite frankly, it was a astonishing that we went from no agenda to a very compelling one in about an hour with little or no planning or contention. But then again, this was my first Open Space conference. Day 2. The next morning, the schedule had gone through an iteration where many topics were consolidated, some were moved and some were removed based on the voting the previous night. Scott Guthries MVC presentation was pushed back to accommodate the most audience members. No one needed to commit to any one topic per session, as they could use their own two feet to go to a different discussion. First Session Spreading passion and DSLs. During the first session, I mostly attended a discussion concerning the problems of spreading passion and learning throughout the organization. Jean Paul had some insight on inspiring passion, while Scott Hanselman mostly talked about making ALT. NET tools accessible. Dave Laribee talked about the importance of instilling values, but there was still a lot of negative vibes around the Morts. Morts shouldnt be shunned or disdained, they should be embraced and included. The rest of the discussion concerned how to include Mort in the ALT. NET community. Next, I headed to the DSL conversation that had folks like Martin Fowler, Scott Guthrie, Jeremy Miller and others. I only caught the tail end of the conversation, but Martin talked a little bit about the difficulties of fluent interfaces, the reasons behind them no one knows yacc, and Scott mentioned that debugger visualizers can work around many of the pains of fluent interfaces. Fluent interfaces as I ran into with NBehave run into the issue where a continuous chain of method calls, no matter how you format it in the code, still turns into one line of executing code. If something fails and throws an exception, you dont know what line it happens at and you cant step into a specific method call. You have to step in and out of each fluent interface method call to get to whatever problem you have somewhere down the chain. Martin again pointed out that this wouldnt really be an issue if we just used true external DSLs and used tools like yacc or Boo to create them. Once you do that, however, you do lose much of the debugging support from Visual Studio. Second Session Intro to Boo and the BDD gauntlet. I hadnt used a lot of Boo, and was very interested in the parsing and extension platform Boo provides. Ive seen some work done on a Boo build system Boo. BS, and dont search for that one. That looked very intriguing to get rid a lot of the executable XML we have around in NAnt, MSBuild, XAML, Spring, and so on. Developing Cultural Competence In Physical Therapy Practice Pdf. Unfortunately, the discussion mostly covered the language features of Boo and not some of the more interesting core features of the Boo compiler, so I moved on to another session. One of the newer topics in our space was BDD, which Scott Bellware convened a session on. However, when I walked into the room with about 8. I saw Joe Ocampo in the center of the room and NBehave story definitions up on the projectors. Joe was taking a lot of heat from those in the audience questioning whether stories were BDD, whether executable stories were a good idea, and so on. I felt pretty rotten about the situation, as I was not around to help Joe explain our goals with NBehave. But I bought him a couple of beers that night, so I guess it evened out. I understand and even embrace Scotts Bellware concerns that executable stories can hamper the conversation that a story is supposed to represent. But Hanselman came to the rescue to explain to Scott that these types of requirements and traceability are critical to many people, and those concerns shouldnt be dismissed out of hand. Personally, I think if NBehave doesnt provide value, it doesnt have a reason to exist. However, whats valuable varies widely from team to team. I would have rather this discussion concern BDD than NBehave, since BDD is a new an interesting topic that isnt widely understood. Again, sorry Joe, my bad Third Session Scott Guthrie is an MVC ninja. The third session mostly consisted of Scotts presentation on a new MVC framework in development at Microsoft, due to be released as a beta in the next couple of weeks. Much has already been discussed about the specific architecture, so I wont go into that. My specific impressions were Ive never EVER heard Rhino Mocks, Structure. Map, NUnit, Spring, or any other major OSS tool that the community uses mentioned in a presentation about MS technology. Ive never EVER seen an MS presentation actually USE one of these tools. Scott used NUnit to write tests for the controller before he ever created the view, which made me shed a single tear. The first points always brought up were support for swappable, testable, mockable architectures, which the new MVC framework supports inside an out. There wasnt a scenario that was brought up that wasnt already available. For the first time in.
