2017 AIM HDC

The world isn’t full of Greenfield applications, it is full of existing Brownfield legacy applications. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t build great software with these Legacy applications as the base. Completely re-writing legacy applications is often full or risk (technical and business) and should be avoided in most cases. A more manageable approach is to wrangle these legacy applications and move them to better patterns over time as we add value and features to the system. In this workshop we will take an existing eCommerce .NET application and begin to migrate it to a more testable, service oriented and fun development experience. Students will learn the skill of Legacy Application Wrangler, no cowboy hat required.

Prerequisite: ​An understanding of VisualStudio would be beneficial for this workshop. Any version (2013, 2015, 2017) and edition (Community, Pro, Enterprise, Ultimate) is fine.
