Behaviour Driven Development with SpecFlow

You may know TDD but do you know BDD? Just like its cousin Behaviour Driven Development is a technique focusing on development using automated tests but at the functional or behaviour level. Think automated acceptance testing using English sentences with a few extra keywords: Given, When and Then.

In this presentation I'll be using SpecFlow, a Visual Studio extension that help us write BDD style tests easily

What's new in C#6/7

The C# language evolved a lot since its inception 15 years ago! Over the years we have seen features like generics, LINQ, async-await change the way we write software. With C# 6, the latest version of the language, we are getting even more productivity features to help us write less code. This session will be interactive with demos of all the new features. We will then see a few of the proposals for the next iterations of C#.
