The Dutch Devs
Adam Cogan sits down with Marcel de Vries and Terje Sandstrom to breakdown the Software Development process. They discuss:
Damian D
Our very own Damian Brady took the stage at the DDD event in Brisbane to talk ASP.NET MVC
Mobile devices like tablets and phones are quickly becoming the primary way people access the web. So why are so many sites still not designed for them?
With ASP.NET MVC, it’s easier than ever to literally put your website in the palm of everyone’s hand. MVC 3 has many features that allow you to target mobile devices with different layout and even content. The recent developer preview of MVC 4 makes things even easier.
In this demo-heavy session, we show how quick and easy it is to create new MVC sites using the great Visual Studio tooling and Entity Framework 4. We’ll look at some different techniques and third-party libraries that make targeting mobile devices easy, and we’ll touch on ASP.NET MVC 4 and what it brings to the table.

Dominic
Adam Cogan interviews Dominic Danis from Pyxis, a software consulting firm based in Montreal.
Pyxis is a fascinating company. Based on a mantra of ‘it’s all about the people’, we see in this video how Dominic and his colleagues strive to always provide the best workplace conditions for their employees.
It’s easy to see how the great working conditions and relaxed atmosphere have translated into great real world products for Pyxis; Urban Turtle, an Agile plug-in for TFS 2010, is a prime example of this.
From the video, you’ll see:
We also have a short video where Adam and Dom walk through the cleverly designed Pyxis office.

Mehdi K
In our first presentation from DDD Brisbane, Mehdi Khalili demonstrates advanced web debugging techniques using Fiddler.
Many developers have seen and used Fiddler; but the usage is usually limited to capturing HTTP traffic.
This session includes the fundamentals of Fiddler, how it works, plus some of the more advanced features including setting breakpoints and changing the request and response on the fly, auto responding to requests, using filters and so on.
Some of the topics discussed in this session will be familiar to most developers; but there is going to be a few nice tricks to take away for most.
The topics of discussion include:

Steve Godbold discusses:

Adam Cogan discusses:
Scrum is a hot topic of discussion for many IT professionals.
The Scrum Guide defines the Daily Scrum (aka Daily Stand-Up) but does not prescribe a way to implement it. Every team is different and not everyone implements the Daily Scrum in the same way.
In this video Adam Cogan shows you how a team at Microsoft, who are working on the next set of Agile project management tools, perform their Daily Scrum.
In the video, you will see:
Adam S
Adam Stephensen discusses:
The ins and outs of RedGate SQL Compare and how to use it effectively. If you need a hand generating your change scripts, watch this video to see how Redgate SQL Compare allows you to analyse two databases, determine the differences and then easily script the changes.
