- Resharper and Design Principles
16th December by Hadi Hariri
Abstract:
As systems grow in size it becomes hard to keep the simplicity.
Testing becomes harder and understanding the code comes close to impossible. This session explains concepts that allow you make robust applications that are not only testable but maintainable. Concepts such as separation of concerns interface segregation, dependency injection and inversion of control are all covered with ample examples of IoC Containers as well as an introduction to mock objects and how to replace dependencies with them during tests.
- Christmas Geek Dinner
18th December 2008
Abstract... Not a real abstract but anyway...:
For the third time already, we are planning our annual Christmas Geek Dinner. An evening full of fun, networking, good food and the real christmas spirit among fellow Visug-people... What more could you ask Santa for?
This year, we selected Wok & Tandoor (Antwerp). It's an "all-you-can-eat", Chinese/Indian restaurant, located near the "Vlaamse/Waalse kaai".
Seats are limited! Each participant pays for own food!
