Virtual Learning Series next session - Deep dive into OOP - Beyond basic Concepts

Mahendra Mavani — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:42:35 GMT

Moving on with our series of virtual learning, here I present next one.

Schedule Time: April/1/2010 10:30 PM (Central Daylight Time) [April/2/2010 9:00 AM IST]

Session Name: Deep dive into OOP - Beyond basic concepts

Abstract: In our college days, We have already learned core Object-Oriented Programming concept like Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism. However since then, lot has been written and spoken about it. While you feel confident about OOP after mastering those core part, soon you realize those cool folks are talking about Single Responsibility Principle", "Open/Closed Principle", "Dependency Inversion Principle", as well as Inversion of Control containers. This session is to demonstrate nuts and bolts of those buzz word and put you in situation where you can start using them right away.

Why bother attending:

If you are excited about unit testing but it's not fitting well for your project
If you are worried about crazy and psycho guy who is going to take over your code
If you think craftsmanship has nothing to do with software production
Then this session has answer to your concerns

Both of them are svn repositories so you will need svn client to check out them. If you haven’t got it already, here is one.

Presenting at AustinCodeCamp 2009

Mahendra Mavani — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:08:14 GMT

Tomorrow I will be presenting at AustinCodeCamp 2009. Topic is “Apply Refactoring Techniques and prune your legacy code”.

Here is the Abstract:

This is session, full of code demo to demonstrate refactoring techniques mostly influenced by Michael Feathers in his book, “Working Effectively with Legacy Code”. I would prefer to keep the session lively by mean of audience interaction while demonstrating how to approach this refactoring for practical scenarios. Session will start with discussion on the topic of dependency and will go towards the direction of how to break those dependencies and introduce testing harness for any legacy code.

I have uploaded sample app and presentation in code camp repository and you can get both from here
