What will I need to do to prepare for the training?
You've learned the .NET Framework - now learn the principles and tools to use it effectively. This intermediate curriculum will lead developers to work-changing techniques and create momentum towards continuous improvement in an ever-changing field. With a focus on object orientation and software engineering practices refined in real projects, students will discover principles and patterns to manage software complexity. By the end of the course students will have eliminated a reliance on leaky-abstraction APIs by

understanding software design concepts and principles
understanding and practicing test-driven development
practicing working in an effective team
implementing designs using object oriented techniques and design patterns
understanding object-relational mapping
drive future growth through exposure to advanced topics

There are many different ways to engage with Headspring Systems in Agile software development. For clientele who would rather not or cannot maintain a staff of programmers, Headspring provides the code production by way software development consulting services. In consultation projects, the visions of the stakeholders are represented by on site clients and kept on track by subject matter experts (appointed by the stakeholders) who work side by side with Headspring developers. For business entities already undertaking in-house software development in need of better tools and better practices, coaching is available from Headspring. Our senior consultants are available to work onsite as coaches for extended engagements to teach Agile's edge. Finally, classroom and onsite training is another means to immerse the in-house programmers of our clients in the Scrum iterative organizational guidelines and eXtreme Programming technical standards of Agile.
