Effective Code with C# 4.0 and Continuous Integration with Bevan Arps
Reserve Bank Museum, The Reserve Bank (map)
Effective Code with C# 4.0: With each new edition of the C# language (and the associated .Net framework), new features give us new ways to work. Come and see some of the ways that new features in recent versions of C# give you new and more powerful ways to write code. (300 level)
Continuous Integration: Perhaps you've heard of Continuous Integration, or perhaps you're already doing it and want to do it better. Come along for a quick overview on why you want it, pointers for for how to get started and some tools to make it happen. Also includes some tips from the field on what works and what doesn't. (200 level)
Bevan Arps is a professional software developer and self confessed unrepentant geek. With a career that spans analysis to testing, hardware installation to user training, and tech support to technical writing, he is currently a C#/.NET developer working for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Hey Richard, we've got a similar situation here at StarNow with potentially multiple development branches and CruiseControl for source control. Fortunately, CC.Net has a preprocessor for its config files, so adding a new branch requires only 3 lines of nicely-formatted XML copied & tweaked for the <cb:scope> element. All the rest of the build config is organised in a few <cb:define> elements. See http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/C...

Phil LeeI thought this was a great presentation, with lots of useful tips. I also really liked how Bevan takes his time explaining some of the trickier points, and doesn't try to rush things (Personally I'd hate to try explaining co-variance & contra-variance - even after reading about them, but Bevan managed to make sense of both of them!).
It might also have been useful to talk about some of the other .Net 4 features, although I'm well aware that an hour wouldn't have been long enough for that. Perhaps if you have an hour and a half next time, it might be worth going over some of the parallel additions (concurrentdictionary, task api etc) as they look pretty useful for doing multi-threaded work.
Great job Bevan!!!!

Aargh, now I remember a question I wanted to ask. How do you handle CI when you have many arbitrary source code branches?
