We are announcing our second meeting of
DC ALT.NET on January 15th at 7PM.
The meeting this month will bring ALT.NET to
CMAP. Are you a developer who always keeps an eye out for a better way? Do you look outside the mainstream to adopt the best practices of any development community, including Open Source, Agile, Java, and Ruby communities? Are you always looking for more elegant, more simple, more maintainable solutions? If so, then you might be an ALT.NET practitioner!
This group follows the
Open Space Technology model. In Open Space, a facilitator explains the process and then participants are invited to co-create the agenda and host their own discussion groups.
This model follows the four basic principles:
- Whoever comes are the right people
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
- Whenever it starts is the right time
- When it's over, it's over
Topics for discussion can include the following as well as others:
- Model View Controller Pattern (ASP.NET MVC/MonoRail)
- Inversion of Control (IoC) containers and Dependency Injection (Spring.NET/Castle Windsor/StructureMap)
- O/RM Tools (NHibernate/ActiveRecord/Entity Framework/LINQ)
- Test Driven Development
- Domain Driven Design
- Behavior Driven Development
- Design by Contract and Spec#
- Enterprise Design Patterns in .NET
