A few months ago I did lunch-n-learn at work around testing. I wrote down a number of principles that were useful to keep in mind when thinking about when writing automated tests. I figured I would share.

A Day At The Visual Studio 2008 Launch Event

12 Apr 2008

So this last Tuesday I was able to go the local incarnation of the Visual Studio/Windows Server/SQL Server 2008 product launch. It was moderately fun and free. The training in the Dev track was pretty basic, so I didn't learn much except in the session on developing Office Business Applications with Visual Studio. I didn't know anything about that, so I learned some new stuff there. However, I don't ever do that kind of development (and don't really want to), so I'm not sure I'll be able to use much of what I learned. I should have taken a non-developer track. I probably would have learned more.
