Special Event
Date:Monday May 25, 2009
Location:Toronto Radisson Harbourfront
Salle: Rain Dance - 4th Floor
This workshop has been designed to give you a head start in modular architecture
practice with abstractions such as the “layer”. You will acquire fundamental knowledge
about how to partitions into layers the concerns of the application. We will teach
you the best practices regarding application architecture and modularity.
We will demonstrate how to apply “top-down” as well as “test-driven” design techniques.
You will learn how to correctly design the “velcro”, the visible interface of a module.
In the same way, you will learn how to conceive a “fake” implementation, an efficient
practice to test a module in an autonomous way. Using a real case study, students will
learn how to implement a layered architecture using C# language and Microsoft .NET
framework. At the end of this workshop you will understand why architects require a
unit of modularity that goes beyond object.
Audience:
Software Architects, lead developers and anyone aspiring to be an architect
Prerequisite:
- Solid understanding of object-oriented programming with C# (Student should know what an interface is,
what an abstract method is, what inheritance is).
- A minimal comprehension of Test-Driven Development (Student must understand the
following paper: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730844.aspx)
Location:Radisson Admiral Hotel - Toronto Harbourfront
249 Queen's Quay West
Toronto, ON M5J 2N5
Room: Rain Dance - 4th Floor
We start at 9:00 am and will finish at 5:00 pm

Course Outline:
This workshop explains how to partitions into layers the concerns of the application
using recognized practices to reduce coupling and to increase testability. Using a real
case study, students will learn how to implement a layered architecture using C# and
Microsoft .NET framework. We will teach you the best practices regarding application
architecture and modularity:
- Modularity: You will learn about the four attributes of a module and how it applies to layers.
- Visible Interface: The greatest leverage in architecting is at the interfaces. Partitioning
the concerns of the application requires layers with a unique role and a contract well defined. To
express not only the specifications but the dynamic behavior of the contract, we will teach you
how to design the “velcro”, the visible interface of a module.
-
Hidden implementation: You will learn how to efficiently implement the body of the layer,
the hidden part which is not visible in other layers. We will teach you how to use
“Dependency Injection” and “Service Locator” as a mediator to reduce coupling with sub-layers.
-
Autonomous Testability: Testability at the layer level without having to assemble the
whole system is the most important attribute of a module. Using “test-driven” design techniques
to express dynamic behavior of a layer, you will learn how “velcro” and “fake” implementation
enable to efficiently test a module in an autonomous way (in a test bed).
-
Dependency Modeling: Using the upcoming Architecture Edition of Visual Studio Team
System 2010, you will learn how to build models to express dependencies between layers.
Using the very new “Layer” diagram, you will learn how to codify the dependencies and how
to integrate them into daily build so that these constraints perpetuate across versions
as an “executable” architecture specification.
At the end of this workshop you will understand why architects require a unit of modularity that goes beyond object.
The cost of the one-day training camp is $499.00 plus taxes.
Space is limited to 25 attendees. Register early!
6 seat left.
Last update:May 20th
Attendees must bring their own computers to this workshop to carry out
the labs that demonstrate how to implement a layered architecture.
The student’s computer must be equipped with Visual Studio 2008 (or 2005).
