Slide Deck and Code Sample for St. Louis DoDN
Editor's note: I wrote this back in August, shortly after the STLDoDN but for some reason my blog decided not to make it public.
This past weekend I spoke at the St. Louis Day of .NET, presenting a talk on MVVM. I was honored to actually have my session double-booked speaking on both Friday and Saturday. The first session, I showed some pre-canned code that showed the concepts I was covering. In the second session, I tried a different approach: I refactored a simple task management application to show how the patterns come into play as an application evolves. I demonstrated the basic View Model, Delegate Command, and Event Aggregator. I’ve uploaded the slide deck and code to Codeplex under the MVVM Unleashed project.
As part of creating the slide deck, I came across some excellent “Motivational Posters” created by Derrick Bailey to visualize the SOLID principles. I used the same technique to make additional posters for YAGNI and DRY
Feel free to use the code, slide deck, and new posters as you see fit (of course you might want to change the personal information about me if you’re presenting it).
