| SSW Update - Video: Successful Scrum in Action - A website upgrade for the national Australia Day Council |
[the cutting edge ]G'day Developers! This month I have a video for you which shows the recent work completed by Gerard Beckerleg and the guys, who shipped the National Australia Day website. They introduced the client to prioritising and adding extra functionality to their existing website by utilising Scrum methodology. The team worked closely together under the guidance and planning of Gerard as Scrum Master keeping Bucky Toller highly involved in the project as Product Owner. I was impressed that the communication was open and constant during the process, keeping the client abreast of the project and encouraging feedback. As you know I am a fan of Scrum and I think the video shows the benefits. I am very proud of Gerard and the boys and their implementation of Scrum. It is great to hear such positive feedback from the client. Tell me the good and bad of how Scrum is working for you. Adam Cogan, SSW

Do you want to spend more time building better functionality instead of finding elusive bugs? Are you looking to build websites that can run on desktop and mobile devices with little extra effort?

*NEW* Featured Event:Enterprise MVC Apps - Two part course
The Model View Controller design pattern has been a proven and effective way of structuring applications for more than 30 years. In 2007, Microsoft introduced ASP.NET MVC to the world and since then, the framework has evolved into a mature and powerful way of writing dynamic web sites and powerful web applications. ASP.NET MVC provides a great way of structuring your application, ensuring a clean separation of concerns, easy testability, and ultimate control over markup. It is quickly becoming the go-to framework for writing .Net web applications. This 2 part course series will be run at 5 capital cities around Australia.

Session 1: Looking at Sitefinity 5.1 from a developers view
CMS’s are notoriously nice for content editors (who are just happy with adding pages and editing them in a HTML or WYSIWYG control), but nasty for developers trying to add functionality.
Drew Robson will give his take on how Sitefinity 5.1 works from a developer’s point of view, and how the new MVC support alleviates the above problem.
Session 2: Tips and Tricks with LINQ Expressions
Although LINQ Expressions have been around for years, as a developer are you using their most powerful features? Drew will demonstrate how you can transform your application data pipeline with LINQ Expressions and LINQ to Entities, resulting in cleaner code and greater reusability. You would be amazed at the amount of code you save when you see the refactoring take place.
The new VS 2012 will be used, but can be targeted to .NET 3.5, 4.0 or 4.5.
