Silverlight Unit Testing slides — but no code :(

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

On June 7 PHINUG, PHISSUG and PHIWUG conducted the {no frills} - Heroes Community Launch event in the Microsoft Philippines offices. It was a great day of sessions and demos, and I certainly enjoyed delivering my talk on Silverlight Unit Testing.

Unfortunately (and this is my excuse for such a late post) several files of my demo code were corrupted. I dunno how or why it happened, but I'm surmising it's out of not properly shutting down the laptop after the demo. And then going on a gimmick with the MS Philippines crew. :P No luck in recovering them, sadly.

Anyway, if you want to download the slides of the Silverlight Unit Testing talk, click on this link.

You could also check out the talk I based this one on -- cruizer's Silverlight Unit Testing Talk he presented in Heroes Community Launch - Singapore. He likewise has slides and code there. :)

A shoutout and big thanks to cruizer who conducted a similar Silverlight Unit Testing talk over at Singapore's Heroes Community Launch, and is likewise helping me with my talk, although there would be big differences between his and my presentation.

I survived Launch {2008}!

Going cross-eyed while presenting

What I mean is, I survived my first time talking to a large crowd in a big event held in a full-sized convention center (actually the country's biggest yet)!

Can the real developers please stand up?

Pointing out something

I presented on the new language features of C# 3.0 and Visual Basic 9.0.

I'd also like to congratulate Edu Lorenzo who made a presentation on LINQ:
