SOLID C# Training Day

The SOLID principles, defined by Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") in the early 2000s, are the keys to building object oriented software that is maintainable and extendable. Most developers have heard the term "SOLID" and may have it listed on their resume but few really understand the theory behind them or have practical examples of their implementation. Come join us as we dive into each principle, learn why they are important and how to use them to build well designed software.

In this training we will continue work on the ConCode.NET project that we started last year for our dotnetConf.Local event. This project utilizes .NET Core, C# 7 and extensive unit testing. So in addition to learning SOLID, attendees will also learn about modern .NET development technologies/techniques. This will be an excellent learning opportunity for developers at all skill levels providing foundational skills for novices and deeper theoretical conversations for the more advanced. We will have plenty of time for questions and workshop-style learning as well. Don't miss it!

Lunch will be provided.
