In this post you will find my PowerPoint and source code I used for my presentation at Charlotte Alt.Net May meeting.  I had a good time presenting this to the group even though it was very broad and shallow.  I covered the basis on why you want to leverage tools and practices in a Lean Agile environment.  I got into topics like Source Control, Unit Testing, Mocking, Continuous Integration and Automated UI Testing.  Each of these topics could have been an entire 1 hour presentation on its own. 

Here are the links to the tools that I talked about in the presentation:

• Source Gear Vault - http://www.sourcegear.com/
• Nunit – Unit Testing Framework http://www.nunit.org/
• Moq – Mocking framework for mocking out dependencies http://code.google.com/p/moq/
• Test Driven .Net – Visual Studio Add in to run tests http://www.testdriven.net/
• NCover – Code coverage http://www.ncover.com/
• CI Factory – Makes CC Net easier to set up and get going http://cifactory.org/joomla/
• CC Net – Cruise Control for .Net http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org
• NAnt – Build Scripting language used by CC Net http://nant.sourceforge.net/
• NDepend – Static Analysis http://www.ndepend.com/
• WatiN – Automated web UI testing http://watin.sourceforge.net/

I better get moving on cleaning up my presentation :)
