We were happy to have Jason Bock with us for our April User Group Meeting.  Jason provided us with background on improving ourselves as programmers, covering the following areas:
  • Principles: Layers and Coupling
  • Managing Dependencies
  • Unit Testing
  • Mocking, Tools, Team Example
Jason provided an overview of the Inversion of Control pattern and Dependency Injections as an approach to implement loose-coupling within applications.  He also explained how unit tests are an integral part not only of development in general, but also a requirement for proper refactoring of code.  He finished by describing mocking, and how IoC/DI as well as unit tests combine with mocking to ensure your code is properly tested.
