Design Time Data

Speaker:

Michael L Perry

Abstract:

Lorem ipsum dolor sint.

You’re building the next great app. You’ve gotten down to the last few tweaks. It’s really close!

But every time you make a change, you have to run the app to see how it works. That text block looked good in the designer, but it’s too short for the content. The spacing between list box items is way too close. Aaaaarg!

If you use design time data, you can see what the app will look like as you go. You can get the trivial stuff out of the way, and make more changes betweeen runs.

We’ll practice design time data techniques from mockup through final polishing. In particular, we will use:

• In-place data
• Sample data
• Design mode view models
• Design mode models

Add these techniques into any phase of the app to make design go much more quickly.

Bio:

Software is math. Michael L Perry has built upon the works of mathematicians like Bertrand Meyer, James Rumbaugh, and Donald Knuth to develop a mathematical system for software development. He has captured this system in a set of open source projects, Update Controls and Correspondence. As a Principal Consultant at Improving Enterprises, he applies mathematical concepts to building scalable and robust enterprise systems. You can find out more at qedcode.com.
