Suggest a good demo for TDD for .NET MSDN Event

hi everyone,

looks like a Test-Driven Development for .NET talk will push thru for professionals and faculty this October in the Microsoft Phils. office.

I would like to solicit suggestions from you (even the non-.NET people here, i.e. the Java people) as to what topics or problems I can demo. Something that would be relatable even to those who have not heard yet of TDD...yet something that would be interesting for professionals. During my TDD talk for students I demoed the conversion of numbers (integers) to words.  Frankly sawa na ako sa demo na ito, hehheh.  Maybe you have better or cooler ideas in mind?

Thanks for anything you can pitch in

I'm doing a TDD demo later today(thats right, i got test infected too) here at my office and i'm going to use existing methods that compute trade commission calculations because i think TDD is easier to demo on mathematical problems because even non-technical people tend to understand the concept by just looking at number comparissons.

You can find my answer here: http://devpinoy.org/blogs/jop/archive/2006/09/29/Spreading-the-Infection.aspx

I guess the demo application should be something that they can relate to. If they're doing payroll, then do a sample using a payroll application. If they're doing accounting, then it follows that account application written using TDD would really be of interest to them.

Good luck!

hey jop thanks for the great insight.

hmm that means I better get runnin' on my preparations! that typhoon took off like four or five days from my sched, syempre walang kuryente at Internet di ba

any other (easier, hehheh) suggestions?

any other demo idea? i'll be doing one for my present employer (jop's former employer, he he) in a couple of days. yun medyo realistic naman na kayang gawin ha

I would suggest to use the good old Northwind DB to demo TDD.  You can demo TDD's advantage over the traditional method to create a form to perform CRUD operations on Employees  & another form for the order entry.  You can also have another co-employee to create a non-TDD version side-by-side for comparison.

good day guys, I'm quite intrigue by this TDD thing any good link where I can start learning
perhaps a video demo is good... TIA

hi dwarvend, i've got some slides in the Downloads section of DevPinoy, under the presentations tree node.

tnx sir cruizer...

hindi kami natuloy kanina; next week na lang daw (ang init kasi sa venue), he he...nakalusot...

post lang kayo kung may suggestions...thanks CryptoKnight for the suggestion too
