Ruby for C#-ers
Microsoft is about to release a 1.0 version of IronRuby, which makes the Ruby language more and more interesting for .NET developers. This is a presentation on how Ruby works, for those who mainly have been in C# and VB land. I'll show an introduction in Ruby, similarities and differences between the philosophy in Ruby and C# code and how to do interop between Ruby and already existing C# code. The main audience is developers and architects who have been using C# the last couple of years and above.

BDD in Web Development
Behavior-Driven Development describes a methodology in which all stakeholders of a software
development project may come together and specify the product’s behavior.
In this talk, I will show the audience how a team would go about to build features on the web with
support from BDD and open sourced web test automation tools, namely Cucumber and Webrat. I will
keep the talk demo-heavy to let the audience feel the power and ease of BDD.
The intended audience is developers, architects and testers who wish to find better ways to specify and
test web applications.
