The conference was all in all great, cozy and intense. I think that we were about 200 people, and that did the conference intimate, i think that was really great because it was easy to get a chance to talk to the speakers, and connect with other geeks after dinner. The only really thing that I can complain about was the amount of changes to schedules.
I talked with the cool guys working on AutoFixture, especial nikos aka
Alot of stuff was going on at the conference and Eventifier has collected tweets, slides and images.
Session retrospektiv:
Day 1
BREAKFAST KEYNOTE - Growing effective agile teams by Roy OsheroveRoy Osherove (@RoyOsherove on twitter) is the Chief Scientist at Bouvet.no
He did er great job and inspired me and got me thinking - have I ben in the comfort zone to long?... maybe, so now I'm actually making a list of what kind of avalanche I wan't to dig into.

Grokking Git by seeing it - Enrico Campidoglio
I didn't really know what I would expect to learn in this session. I thought I knew the basic of GIT, I was terribly wrong, yes I knew the basic commands, but that was it :-)
He was really good to explain how GIT actually worked by showing it step by step.
Things I need to remember and dig into here is:
SeeGit => Realtime repository visualizer
Posh-GIT => A better GIT with powershell
GIT tutorial => Need to try this :-)
Enrico works at tretton37 and can be contacted through his blog or on Twitter @ecampidoglio
Tour de API - Anne-Sofie Nielsen
Anne-Sofie did a great talk about oAuth and how to use it with different API's. The presentation was in 3D, pretty cool, and a good outbreak from normal .PPT slides.
She also mention to be aware of API changes and how API keys works. This was something a colleague and I hasn't been aware of :-(
Anne-Sofie has 3rd degree black belt in karate and can be contacted on her blog or on Twitter @femalenerd get the slide
NuGet (Anti-)Patterns: Tales from the trenches - Xavier Decoster
Xavier talked about Package Version, Package Repositories and general Anti patterns.
Things I remembered her was:
Package Version
Use semantic version with NuGet and how NuGet version's defers from SemVer.
Package Repositories
Split package repositories by audience, by using different feeds, I will dig into MyGet.org to see if I can use it.

Unit Testing best practices and horrible mistakes - Roy Osherove
Roy Talks allot and love to sing, he should definitely publish the songs on YouTube.
Top 5 best practices I think he covered in his session
- Test only public's
- Testing a private makes your test more brittle
- Test-First leads to private members after refactoring, but they are all tested
- Test Only One Thing
- avoid multiple Asserts
- one mock per test
- Enforce test isolation
- No dependency between tests!
- Don't run a test from another test
- Separate unit from integration tests
- Naming a unit test
- use _ to describe the test

Taking the hippie bus to the enterprise - Mogens Heller Grabe
Great Session, really showed how simple you could use a service bus with Rebus, I have to integrate in several of my projects. A fun thing was I got an error in one project while attending the Rebus session that Rebus could have prevent from happened.

Organize your chickens: NuGet for the enterprise - Xavier Decoster
We had a good discussion about Package Management, dependency hell and the NuGet eco system. Then we discussed MyGet vs. TeamCity as a pacakage server, and though we have TeamCity and TeamCity has some of the same features, it maybe make sense for me to use MyGet. I need to dig into this...
