On Saturday on March 31, 2007 I did a couple of talks at the Toronto Code Camp. The first an overview on the LINQ Project and the ADO.NET Entity Framework.
The second talk was an impromptu talk to cover a time slot for a speaker who was unable to attend. I gave the audience some choices of topics and they chose Automated Unit Testing in VSTS. We also touched briefly on the bridge between TDD and QA, other types of tests, integration with source control, work items and builds. My hidden agenda was to convince folks that this is an essential evolution of our develop discipline and is no longer a fringe activity, nor associated to just one kind of development methodology (XP/Agile).
The talk was unscripted and as such no slides. Good thing because we went well into the lunch hour and I appreciate everybody's willingness to hang out and have a good discussion. Here are some links:
And lastly a couple of book recommendations:
Finally a big thanks to Chris Dufour for putting on an excellent glitch free code camp - this should be a model for similar events.
Update: Also check out this blog post for videos of the EDM designer that unfortunately isn't working in the March CTP.
Update 2: I should also include Shyam Pather's excellent Entity Framework screencast tutorial(s) in which he demos Entity Query Language and tells a great story of how to evolve ADO.NET 1.0/2.0 code to ADO.NET 3.0
