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.

*NEW* ASP.NET MVC Webinar (Part 2) - Why you should never use Web Forms again!
|
Free Webinar
Tuesday 2nd October 2012
11.00am - 12.00pm
Cost: No Charge

Presented by Adam Stephensen, Solution Architect
Do you want to enjoy the art of coding again?
Are you sick of fighting with the Web Forms page lifecycle?
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?
Like most, I was a Web Forms developer. These things used to get me down, until I started using ASP .NET MVC.
In this webinar I’ll show you why I will never go back to Web Forms again, and how MVC has brought the joy and creativity back into programming for me.
Webinar Objectives
This webinar will provide the attendee with:
- The challenges created by Web Forms
- How ASP .NET MVC 4 overcomes those challenges
- My top features that make me a super productive developer
- Ample time for Q&A

*NEW* Featured Event:Enterprise MVC Apps - Two part course
New training locations!
Enterprise MVC Apps
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.
This 2 part course series will be run at 5 capital cities around Australia.
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.

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.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Drew Robson is a Senior Software Architect at the Brisbane SSW Office, who specialises in C#.NET, Team Foundation Server and Scrum. His passion
is to ensure software is developed with the health of the code, team and process in mind, combined with best technical practices, such as Unit-testing,
Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment. Drew has a background in a diverse range of industries like website development, games development and
online banking solutions.
