The 2nd annual Cincinnati-Dayton Code Camp was a blast, Mike Wood did a great job putting it all together. It was great to see alot of familiar faces, especially the guys from Columbus, Cleveland, and Michigan who I usually only get to catch up with at events like this.
The first of my two sessions was MbUnit: Unit Testing for People who Love Unit Testing. I will post the presentation and samples in a moment, but basically I ran through all my favorite MbUnit features (RowTest, PairWise, Repeat, Rollback2, etc). Looks like I might have converted Michael Eaton. It was great to have Steven Harman in this session too since he could offer some extra MbUnit advice based on his experiences on SubText.
The only session I made it to was Jim Weirich’s session on Mock Objects in Ruby. I was blown away by what is possible using FlexMock, I would kill to have this functionality in .NET. I was talking with Drew Robbins and he was wondering if something similar might be possible in IronPython, an interesting idea.
My last session was called Real World Agile and basically it was an open session for people to discuss what has worked and what hasn’t worked on real projects. I covered alot of the lessons we have learned on our agile project and was thrilled with the amount of feedback, ideas, and discussion we had around using agile on real projects.
I think overall good times were had by all.

We do have RhinoMocks. It is about as good as I can imagine Mocking in .NET
RhinoMocks is definitely the best mock framework I have found in .NET. It’s really the dynamic nature of Ruby that I am jealous of, it lends itself to mocking incredibly well.

James,
Thanks for the nod!
Cinci CodeCamp ‘07 was a great time and I’m glad I was able to make it. I didn’t get to make it to your Real World Agile session, but I thought you did a great job with the MbUnit one. I was looking around the room during the session and I could really see people’s faces light up as they started to get it… I think it’s fair to say you converted more than a couple of developers to MbUnit.
Anyhow, great to meet you in person and I look forward to another great CodeCamp next year… and your next book – ha!
