Slides from My OSLO “PDC Fireworks” Presentation

Posted by Owen Evans on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

The lightning talks went well, everyone was reasonably happy to sit through the presentations and I’m hoping people took away some nuggets of information that will help them divulge deeper.
My talk spawned a small drinking game (although with mimed drinks) from James. A drink for every time I said “model”. For an 8-10 minute talk [...]

Getting Oslo’s Intellipad to show MGrammar Mode

Posted by Owen Evans on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

[EDIT: You can just launch Intellipad with Samples Enabled, from the Start Menu. For some reason my first port of call was to run Intellipad from the command line]

Like footprints on the moon: beware your software legacy

Posted by Owen Evans on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

This post has been brewing for some time:
A couple of weeks ago I was very amused to get a tweet from Daniel Cazzulino (the guy behind Moq)

The reason I found the text funny was the idea that Daniel found it strange to have legacy parts of an application within a year of starting the application. [...]

Slides from My OSLO “PDC Fireworks” Presentation

Posted by Owen Evans on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

The lightning talks went well, everyone was reasonably happy to sit through the presentations and I’m hoping people took away some nuggets of information that will help them divulge deeper.

My talk spawned a small drinking game (although with mimed drinks) from James. A drink for every time I said “model”. For an 8-10 minute talk there were a number of mimed sips.

But it was important that people take away at least the fact that “M” is for Model. Made me feel a bit like I was doing a public access TV show. I should have had a big bird outfit on.

I really would advise anyone who still feels they don’t get OSLO to not loose heart. It’s a complex philosophy with a currently very simplistic (on the surface) implementation. Read up on Domain Driven Development and Model Driven Development and see the benefits they purport. Then check out the OSLO presentations from the PDC.

I’m hoping to do a number of other talks on OSLO itself, and will be especially excited once Quadrant makes an appearance in the wild as without this part of the toolkit the framework is more about the ideas than the practical uses.
