The sessions are all online now for DevTeach 2007 in Montreal this spring. I'm giving talks on:
- The Laws of Agile Design -- How to design and write code that makes the "Embrace Change!" slogan a realistic option
- Executable Specifications with FIT -- Requirements, documentation, testing, oh my! Do all three at one time with requirements that bite back when they're not fulfilled
- Put that Wizard Down! -- Design Patterns for Maintainable WinForms Development
The last one is going to hit the Humble Dialog Box for sure, but we'll go much farther than that into code centric solutions for composite applications, menus, event synchronization, and interactions with the backend. I think there are many times when just a bit of explicitly written code beats all the drag and drop wizardry in the world.
I think it's going to be a tremendous lineup and I'm excited just to be a part of it. The speaker list looks remarkably like my blogroll, and I'm curious to observe the small, but feisty Bellware beast in his native habitat.
I figure that I'm good for all the speaking I'll ever do because I've already done the "take the wireless microphone into the restroom" trick and the inappropriate interface name. It's all downhill from there.
