Working with Legacy Applications using TDD.

Working on legacy software can be difficult, time consuming and a bit overwhelming. When woking on highly coupled legacy software, how can we be sure any changes we make don't break exisiting functionality? Where do you even begin to start making any changes?

In this talk we will look at the processes involved with refactoring legacy software, techniques we can use to isolate coupled code and make it testable.

These processes and techniques will provide you the confidence you need to work with legacy software instead of working against it.

Events in practice

Events are nothing new, as long as there have been computers there has been software responding to events and moving a process along, but do we use events to the best of our abilities?

From dispatchers in our favourite frameworks to queuing systems to audit logs to infrastructure, events can be used to manage just about every part of our application. Join me on a journey to explore common event patterns and ways we can leverage events to create a richer experience for our users and the applications by removing synchronous requests and cleaning up the code that remains.
