SSW Update - 2012 Retrospective of SSW |
|
|
[the cutting edge ]
G'day Developers!
I thought I might relfect on how 2012 went at SSW. It really was another great year for SSW
with the launch of our new Metro website as well as our new SSW TV site. In 2012, SSW TV
went from zero to 30,000 unique visitors – a good start but we still have a long way to go.
Our guys and girls at SSW kept performing professionally throughout 2012, building great
.Net solutions and business applications.
The SSW project I was most proud of in 2012 was the rewrite of a very large Australian
ticketing site, because it was a real challenge and this project had so many new things we
hadn’t used in combination before, such as fixed-price with Scrum and it was written with
ASP.NET MVC 4 as well as the Telerik Sitefinity CMS.
There’s a little bit more work to go before it is released to the public, but it’s looking
good.
Our sweetest win of 2012 was with a client who engaged both us and our #1 competitor for a
week long trial. They simultaneously gave both companies the same requirements to make sure
we could well and truly walk the walk, and in the end SSW came away with the job - so we
must have impressed!
So what’s next for SSW, you ask?... (continued)

Intensive 3-day Professional Scrum Developer course
Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra
Cost: $2995 +GST Pre Paid
|
Professional Scrum Developer courses teach students how to work in a team, using modern software
engineering practices, to develop
an increment of potentially releasable functionality using a specific technology platform. Students
learn to do so within the Scrum
framework doing iterative incremental development.
Classes are exercise-driven, with students working in self-organizing teams to develop "done"
increments from Product Backlog items.
Course at a Glance
This 3-day Professional Scrum Developer .NET course is a mix of lecture, demonstration, group
discussion, simulation, and hands-on
software development. The bulk of the course will be spent working as a team on a case study
application delivering increments of new
functionality in mini-sprints. Here is the course at a glance:
Note: Scrum fundamentals are not covered in this 3-day course. If you are not experienced with Scrum
fundamentals, the 5
day course is still available.
Scrum either through working on a Scrum Team or through taking part in a Professional Scrum
Foundations course.

Enterprise MVC Apps - 2 part course
Build real world applications from the ground up
Now running!
Enterprise MVC Apps Part I: Going beyond the demos
Cost: $330 +GST
Format: 1 day
|
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.
Enterprise MVC Apps Part I: Going beyond the demos
This course will introduce you to the latest version of ASP.NET MVC version 4. Throughout the course,
attendees will be guided through building a full ASP.NET MVC application from scratch.

Introduction to NServiceBus
There are many tools out there on the market which claim to be enterprise service buses. But only
NServiceBus incorporates true service oriented architecture and many years of experience in how to
design such systems.
Designed for collaboration between business-oriented services, NServiceBus is not a replacement for
RPC technologies like WCF.
NServiceBus is a leading open source service bus for .NET. This presentation will provide a brief
overview of integration strategies with a focus on messaging and the bus architectural style.
Demonstrations will include:
Use of the NServicebus libraries and basic concepts
The Request/response asynchronous messaging
Publish/subscribe messaging
Using the bus to coordinating processes across services using Sagas
About the Presenter
John Simons is currently responsible for the day-to-day management of the NServiceBus
Framework.
John brings over 10 years of experience building and running technological solutions that push the
envelope in geographically distributed deployment environments.
Before joining NServiceBus, John consulted on many government contracts.
