Speaking at DevLink in August

I am SUPER excited to back at Devlink this year speaking.  There are still tickets available for the conference, but it is expected to sell out soon, so if you are interested in one of the best conferences in the South-East, go hit the website right now and register.

I’ll be speaking on two topics:

8/5/2010 12:00:00 PM
"Yes Virginia, You Do Care How Your Version Control Repository Is Configured"

"Having the best version control software in the world doesn’t do you any good if you don’t know how to configure it correctly. In this session, we will look at how Team Foundation Server Version Control works, and give out some best practices on how to configure your version control repository, as well as look at different change management and branching strategies, that apply not just to TFS 2010, but any version control system."

Room: E109

8/6/2010 4:00:00 PM
”These Aren’t Your Daddy’s Testing Tools”

"Visual Studio 2010 delivers a new crop of testing tools that raise the bar for testing, as well as provide testers with everything they need to do their job right. And the best thing is, they don’t even have to go into Visual Studio 2010 to use them! In this session we will look at some of the new testing tools available with Visual Studio 2010, including the Manual Test Runner, Test Cases, and Coded UI Tests. Once you watch a test run using the Manual Test Recorder, and see all the information it collects for you, as well as the video playback, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without these tools!"

Room: E109

I’d love to have a packed crowd at both.  I’ll have a couple of things to give away as well.

I’m still refining both presentations at this point, so if you have anything that fits into these topics that you would like to see discussed or mentioned, or if you have specific questions you would like to be addressed, contact me and I’ll do my best to incorporate it into the talk.
