NNUG Bergen - April 2011

Vi får besøk av Vagif Abilov for å snakke om "Writing executable specifications with Visual Studio and SpecFlow".

Om Vagif:

Vagif (twitter)har utdannelse fra universitetet i Moskva innenfor elektronikk og matte fra 1985. Han har hatt arkitektrolle i kompliserte utviklingsprosjekter på Microsoft .NET, COM+ og Windows plattformer. Gjennom oppdrag i forskjellige bransjer har han opparbeidet seg en god evne til å forstå forretningsprosesser og krav. Vagif er svært engasjert i samfunnet av .NET-utviklere: skriver artikler, holder foredrag og oppdaterer sin profesjonelle blog. Han er Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) innenfor Enterprise Application Development, samt TypeMock Most Valued Professional.

This talk will be composed of two parts - a presentation and a workshop. We urge everyone to bring a laptop to participate in the workshop, or we can help arrange impromptu pairing. You'll need Visual Studio (2008/2010) on the laptop, and the latest version of SpecFlow (we will have SpecFlow, along with any additional requirements, available both on a USB key and a GitHub/DropBox account prior to the talk). NNUG will arrange additional power outlets, but a fully-charged battery wouldn't hurt.
